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.

Yes, most damaging!!
My heart is beating so fast!
Took 18 DAYS to get FBI to Benghazi....the area was NOT secure for 18 DAYS!!! This is such a complete Administration failure at every level.
Good grief, this silly woman “testifying” now.
Now Maloney is filling the room with her moonbat crap. Great..
Maloney from NY.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that “death is a part of life.”
I think fighters could have been sent from the US within 20 hours.
Maloney is nuts.....and here we go..
Why not a question about who told the special forces in Tripoli to Stand Down and not go to Benghazi?
I’d be a blubbering baby if I were in his shoes. Thank the Good Lord I am not in that position.
I love how Fox News cuts out of live coverage just after Miz. Baloney from New Yawk is recognized ;-)
Maloney lies. It is the nature of the beast.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney-D.. PIMPING FOR HILLARY!!!!
Cummings is delivering the twisted warning, not making an effort to protect whistleblowers. it is demented, but that’s what democrips are all about.
So the dead Americans were there for 18 days?
She’s another mouth breather
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?
Maloney... oh brother. Kissing the pantsuit.
Wow. A self-destructing rat.
Hillary Clinton can KISS MY ASS!
