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.

On now. This young man is another real deal I think.
Mute Cummings and save sanity.
Did you notice Cummings got up and left as soon as he finished spewing?
SUSAN RICE KNEW IT WAS ANSAR AL SHARIA THE DAY AFTER THE ATTACKS!
I love Trey Gowdy!
He has to replace Linda Graham!
Gowdy and Hicks are devastating together.
That punk walked out? Maybe his prostate is playing up.....
Yes he did...stupid evil SOB.
Gowdy grinding Rice into hamburger.
Gowdy went after it hard and tee’d it up for Mr Hicks to knock it out of the park!
Nope. He’s out back on the phone getting more talking points.
Who is Beth Jones? I missed that. Assistant of something in the SD
Go, Goudy, go!!! He’s rocking it.
WOO-HOO!!
Actually, I ‘think’ he said it was unclassified, but not released.
Did Cummings just interrupt?
Mrs. Rice is a waste of time....LOL.
oh no, who is this hag?
Gowdy: “So the crime scene was unsecured for 18 days.”
BAM!
It sounds like time to swear in Susan Rice... maybe offer some immunity so they get at the bigger fish.
