Summary

The Constitution provided various terms that the government was to follow when conducting surveillance. For instance, the Fourth Amendment demanded “probable cause”, which was only to exist when a government wanted a judge to issue a warrant. This meant that there was to be a fair probability that a search would produce evidence. In the case where the government wanted to carry out surveillance on an individual, they had to provide an affidavit to the court to give them permission. However, an inspection was essential in investigations since it helped investigators to gather more information from the reliable person.

Analysis

According to Jarrett, it is indeed true that the government had violated surveillance. The abuse is in a way in which the people's right to privacy has been infringed upon, with everyone open to oversight despite the need for authorisation. Concerning the Russian hoax, it was evident that the dossier was unreliable. It was also found out that Fusion GPS had unverified information about Trump, and its dossier was disregarded by the FBI on the grounds of being unsatisfactory.
