Sept 17, 2014: BizPac Review: Gowdy sets tone in opening: ‘We can just be Americans in pursuit of the facts, the truth, and justice’
There were no fireworks in the making Wednesday as Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., got the House Select Committee on Benghazi off to a quiet start.

June 24, 2014: Flopping Aces: Trey Gowdy destroys IRS Commissioner Koskinen
This is so good it’s worth its own post: It becomes painfully obvious why Koskinen was appointed commissioner of the IRS. He is a lawyer but hasn’t practiced law in 45 years.

May 9, 2014: Huffington Post: The GOP Is Headed To Where Trey Gowdy Is From
Today’s Republican Party was born in and still pivots around upstate South Carolina, which is why the GOP’s choice of Rep. Trey Gowdy as its congressional poster boy for 2014 explains everything about the party’s midterm election strategy: to burrow into its base, its roots, in an act of mass political cocooning.

ON THE RECORD: May 5, 2014: Greg Sargent (Washington Post) writes (" Dems mull whether to boycott House GOP Benghazi hearing"). He writes: "The House GOP leadership just announced that Rep. Trey Gowdy will head the newly announced special committee to probe what happened in Benghazi. Gowdy, as it happens, has already informed America that he knows that the administration is guilty of a serious cover-up, claiming he has “evidence” of a “systematic, intentional decision” to withhold untold numbers of Benghazi documents from Congress. The question now is whether House Dems will boycott the proceedings. Over the weekend, Dem Rep. Adam Schiff suggested they should, on the grounds that this will be a “colossal waste of time” that doesn’t deserve to be treated with any “credibility,” given how much has already gone into investigating Benghazi. This provoked outrage from Republicans."  Without going into great detail, there are questions that need to be definetively answered and though that may not actually bother Democrats, unless they deal with it now, it will affect a potential run by Hillary Clinton or even Joe Biden (since we was VP at the time). If there is nothing then no one has anything to worry about. The Obama administration has a long history of ending debate and investigation on issues by just saying "It's over," even though nothing has really been investigated.
