Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's sunrise tweet casting aspersions on the domestic surveillance program his own intelligence officials have called essential set off a thunderclap of concern in Washington -- and underscored the pitfalls of the President's morning television tweet-alongs.

Phones at the White House began ringing almost immediately after Trump wrote at 7:33 a.m. ET that the FISA program up for reauthorization in the House on Thursday may have been used to "badly surveil" his campaign.

Oh, did CNN get a FISA warrant to listen in on the White House phones?

CNN makes absolutely no effort to be even-handed or objective.

Absolutely! This spy program should be ended until all Deep State Democrat-Communist spooks are replaced! They have been politically weaponized by the Obama Administration and as DC has over 90% Democrat-Communist voter rolls we should not trust the work force in DC!

I read his tweets. He didn’t say anything that isn’t true.

The SOBs used FISA to spy on Trump. And now they want FISA reauthorized?

I hope Donald makes them pay a bitter price and IF they get any new FISA it is brutally restricted. Secret courts are un-American and this election’s coup attempt demonstrates EXACTLY why.
