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.

Cardenas - A Democratic Statesman. An apple in a barrel of rotten apples.
Hahah...idiot dem smacked down!
Just saw your ping. IMHO..biggest bombshells have been that not only was a stand down order given not to respond to attacks with military..a stand down order given to not attempt rescue of survivors. Also no authority sought to fly into Libya....no stenographers at ARB testimony of witnesses....Africom was not honest about assets in area at time.
Just a start...hope that helps. So many bombshells..I can’t recall them all right now.
GAHHHH/ I’m just hanging here. Missing everything. Dang!
DesJarlais calling out the rats on changing the subject from the testimonies at hand.
Love it,love it,love it! Go guy from Wisconsin.
This Representive is RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO SCOTT!!!!!
Security matters to all the witnesses! Protect them God, please protect them. Amen.
The three that testified today deserve thanks for their honor and conviction. Issa, Chaffetz, Gowdy, and others who keep asking and supporting the families.
Jodi Arias murder trial verdict.. Who knew this was going to happen today? Raise your hand!

Hicks: "Yes, I did."
"Here are tonight's top stories..."

brief mention of hearings
Perfect opportunity for the LSM to cover up for Baraq yet again. And we all knew it was coming. The trick here is to keep dripping information ... one drop at a time. It's going to be a long summer.

HOW do we fix dead people?
This gave me chills.
To all:
HIGHLIGHTS of hearing will be broadcast
9pm on C-Span tonight (NOT C-span3)
It will be a grave injustice to Americans if C-SPAN doesn’t rebroadcast the ENTIRE hearing tonight for people who weren’t able to watch the Live hearing this afternoon.
-— Fox still covering that psycho boyfriend killer. Nice priorities. ——
Someday soon The Blaze will kick Fox’s ass. I can’t wait.
One of these witnesses needs to drop the bomb and say “OBAMA could have saved us.”
DO IT! SAY OBAMA IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE.
I have been in and out all day, Did anyone ask about the 15 state dept guys at the facility taken out and hidden?
