CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): So, I guess you can just go and grab a lawmaker's cellphones now. How is that not a violation of separation of powers? How is that not a violation of the executive branch and the legislative branch being co-equal branches? Under this precedent, why can't the – Congress -- if we get back Congress in January -- just go walk into the FBI and grab all of their cellphones? Why can't Scott Perry, as chairman of the Freedom Caucus, just walk into the FBI and IRS building and just go grab all of their cellphones?
