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.

Don’t be angry. Hicks just smeared a dozen eggs on Cummings face.
“I’ve never been as embarrassed in my life, in my career, as on that day,” Hicks told investigators of Rice’s appearances.

Nordstrom choking up with anger...
IT MATTERS!!!
This guy is near tears!! Wow..POWERFUL!!
Nordstrom: IT MATTERS!! Just damn. BOOM!!
You bet.
No way the harpys can come back at him now.
OMG, he is breaking my heart. He is trying SO hard to keep himself together.
At some point, this will come down to a fight between Hillary and Jarrett. We’ll see who does the better job of stabbing the other in the back.
Haha. I can’t wait for Maloney’s intense questioning. lol
Cummings apparently comes from a safe district. dems in more precarious districts will remain under cover and as far from the Benghazi issue as possible to avoid any possibility of being wounded by it.
I’m not there. Pinging two I know who are. I don’t know if others are there. PrezUsa222 told me the place is packed and they’re not in the hearing room, yet.
The Ohio story should not preempt nor interfere in any way with this story. To use it that way is a travesty.
However, to call the kidnapped and held for ten years teens/now women “bitches” is beneath contempt.
So I will not praise that post, not now, not ever.
In fact, if it had just posted that contemptible sentence and not the rest of the point, it would have already been removed.
I would’ve hit abuse and it would’ve gone bye-bye.
He was just almost breaking down in tears, but composed himself.
He said”It matters.”!!!!
He is sincere with anger, loss.
That’s how I read his emotions also.
God strengthen the witnesses with the spirit of truth... and a double portion on the questioners.
