South Dakota Republican Senator Mike Rounds joins me now. I have to ask, Senator, who's really destroying democracy here?

There's no reason for anybody in the executive branch of government, the FBI in particular, in keeping track of who members of the United States Senate are making contact with. (00:11–00:21)
