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.

CNN does NOT like what they’re hearing and seeing...truth.
She obviously had better things to do than her job.
Agree we don’t know what the savages did to him.
All I know is I heard the cause of death was smoke inhalation but think that was a news report not sure if it was an official cause of death.
You are correct, this is absolutely riveting, I cannot tear myself away from this.
Sheeesh.
Hero Hicks is almost breaking down.
God bless him..
Agreed! this is what the truth sounds like..Cummings & his ilk should take note.
Also, did anyone hear him say earlier something about a hostage team coming in to rescue? That would shed some light to the blind sheik hostage swap theory. I may have heard wrong..
Way ahead of you!
Was that before or after the sodomy?
Forgive me, this thread is my only source of live info on these hearings. Does ‘lied about assets’ mean that they had assets available, yet told those on the ground in Benghazi that they did not?
This is powerful stuff...no wonder Obama has sought to keep these people quiet.
We have already heard enough to charge Obama with Dereliction Of Duty and abuse of power!
We moved at dawn to the annex...4:45 to 5:00
You can bet if this was a Republican admin, they wouldn’t cut away once.
I’m quite aware of that.
I’m glad I defended the 3 teen victims from being called despicable names.
You’ll never change that in me.
Now back to the thread.
Hicks is in awe of how brave the workers at the annex were while destroying sensitive equipment. Now they needed to figure out who was going to drive the vehicles UNTRAINED....they moved at dawn. Didn’t want to go through certain checkpoints. Then there were mortar attacks?
Could you stop dragging this away from the thread topic please? That includes the others involved in your spat. Take it to private messaging.
Sarge is one of the good guys. He is just as frustrated as I am (or more) at the msm trying to change the focus to something, while very tragic, not as important to national interest as this trial is.
Sickening.
