Hearing details:
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced three witnesses who will appear at a full committee hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at 11:30 AM in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I applaud these individuals for answering our call to testify in front of the Committee. They have critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key points from what Administration officials – including those on the Accountability Review Board – have portrayed,” said Issa. “Our committee has been contacted by numerous other individuals who have direct knowledge of the Benghazi terrorist attack, but are not yet prepared to testify. In many cases their principal reticence of appearing in public is their concern of retaliation at the hands of their respective employers. While we may yet add additional witnesses, this panel will certainly answer some questions and leave us with many new ones.”
Witnesses: Mr. Mark Thompson
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism
US Department of State
Mr. Gregory Hicks
Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya
US Department of State
Mr. Eric Nordstrom
Diplomatic Security Officer and former Regional Security Officer in Libya
US Department of State
In October 2012, the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on the Benghazi attacks, which exposed denials of security requests and forced the Administration to acknowledge that the attacks were not sparked by a protest of a YouTube video, contrary to claims made by Obama Administration officials.

Cummings is just repeating the ‘talking point’, which Obama, and Hillary have stated.
“Let’s not deal with WHO is to blame, but WHAT is to blame. We promise we’ll fix it and it will never happen again, again.”
**************
GOWDY is on now. GO SPITFIRE GO.
Wow, I am stunned by Gowdy’s old school Perry Mason ‘Gotcha’ style.. Woweeee!!!
I think Nana’s right. Stonewalling, eating up the clock, and setting up The Obama’s defense: “System Failure”.
Especially since it took Hicks only half to a third of that time to charter a plane from Tripoli...
He probably left because of Gowdy..
Gowdy is so good.
Yeeeeeaaaaarrrrrgh! *fist pumping in air*
Go Trey! This is great!
Awww, Cummings is so concerned and genuine (spit). He’s so fair and balanced in listening to both sides (barf). Ooooh, and he promises to protect the ‘whistleblowers” (sigh).
Do I even need the /s?
Get ready folks. This is how the Dem’s are going to respond. “Well now Mr. Hicks, that’s nice. But we already have the truth from Gen. Dempsey, so thanks for playing”.
Exactly... We have the best military in the world, and it would take 20 hours to respond to an international incident?
hope the email from Scott? about guards taking pictures that hit internet hours before attack comes out.
Trey Gowdy rocks!!!!!
Getting at the core of the issue.... go man!!!
Gowdy reading email that has not been unclassified yet!!
Wow!!
I would love for Gowdy to be President one day.
Gowdy is all over this, love it, Gowdy for President! :-) He is demolishing rice, hillary, hussein. Baby HUSSEIN must be on a rampage somewhere......
Reading e-mail dated Sept. 12!!!
Same e-mail sent to almost everyone!
Thank you
BAM!
Beth Jones, Ansar al Sharia, Sept. 12 to amb. to Libya, affiliated with Islamic terrorists.
That’s nice. Can we get to why they were in Benghazi in the first place?
Trey Gowdy has just destroyed the video narrative BS we were fed for weeks.
Bring on Ms. Rice!
