Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

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.

*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

Cummings seems to rule out that Dempsey and Panetta were lying. This is why we need General Ham. Someone made the decision not to send help. No one knew how long the attacks would last.

Cummings is trying to preempt what the witnesses will say and discredit it.

No military officals are testifying today. More lies to the American people from the White Hut. The question is, what will the GOP do about it?

Quite the PC guy.

It was him that hysterically insisted that BWI be named Thurgood Marshall BWI.

Not Babe Ruth BWI or Edgar Allen Poe BWI (much more appropriate IMO), but you’re a racist if you don’t agree that it should be Thurgood Marshall BWI.

I despise the man.

Elijah Cummings thinks the talking points his moronic staff has written for him, if shouted into the mic, will have an effect.

Wrong, Elijah. Oh so wrong.

It wouldn’t do much good. People would just be watching a moron ranting and raving at the moment. Piece of shit. I hate Cummings, who is now defending Dempsey and the two douchebags who refused to appear.

Give this idiot the hook. How long does moron Cummings get to poison the well before the hearings start.

Idiot Cummings is a reliable attack dog reading from notes because he doesn’t know what the hell he is yammering about. Just an older senile version of Obama

Says anyone who questions the administration’s failures is engaged in a smear campaign. Says he “respects” the witnesses .... it’s clear he does not. He’s prepping the MSM for their coverage.
