What he’s really saying is “I prefer for the FBI to execute a search warrant.” He’s too stupid to realize that’s what he’s saying, but that is nevertheless what he’s saying.

accused the committee of being “illegitimate” and “not duly constituted.”

Perry is a member of the political party that refused to exercise its authority to appoint members to the committee. If he has a problem with its legitimacy he should take it up with McCarthy, who can most assuredly explain it on a level Perry would understand.

Fine, and not unexpected. Due to professional courtesy, the committee had to begin with the request. Now subpoena his ass before nightfall, and you might as well do the criminal referral paperwork now too.
