Trey Gowdy is doing Benghazi, not IRS.
Gowdy is also on the Oversight Committee and took part in the recent hearings. I recall Gowdy saying in an interview about a year ago that a good prosecutor never asks a direct question unless he already knows the truthful answer. With that context, you might want to go over to the recording of the second session of the hearing (link below) and listen to Gowdy questioning the WH (and former IRS) lawyer O’Connor.
Gowdy begins questioning O’Connor around 31:00 . At the very end (close to 36:00) he asks O’Connor whether Lerner used her personal computer, and the “I know nuthin” liar mumbles “I don’t know.” Gowdy shoots back: “She did!” At which point his 5 minutes were up.

When Gowdy shot that “She did!” at her it was letting her know that she is in deep trouble. I think they have proof that O’Connor is part of the cover up. That may have been a warning to her, that she has been trapped and she should spill the beans now.
That was Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we learn about the Grassley thing: emails to and from Lerner’s Blackberry. Hmm, Lerner and others now realize that the committee has more than they thought. That also shows that a respected Republican politician was almost targeted. This targeting of Republicans is Lerner’s M.O. With that in mind, have a read of this from Lerner’s old FEC days:
Salvi of course was a former law partner of Congressman Roskam, the House deputy Whip. They know that Lerner was intimidating people from her FEC days.
That’s why (I think) Issa is now subpoenaing the 28 years of Lerner’s documents. They will find either Lerner has pulled this “a hard drive crash ate my records” routine before, or they will find that she was abusing her power systematically for years.
Issa now comes out suggesting immunity (only with an offer of what she will say) and point blank calls this a conspiracy.
They are after Lerner, but only in so far as she leads them to a wider and bigger catch.
Of course, Gowdy does have bigger fish to fry over at the Benghazi special investigation, but he will be playing a key role with this IRS thing as well.

Didn’t you see Gowdy chew up the IRS Commissioner?
