Yes, it's that time again, the time when we ask: What hot garbage did impeached president Donald Trump spew on Twitter this morning.
Well, children, this is what the man said:
“For the first time in history, Police Organizations & National Security Organizations were used to SPY on a Campaign, & there was no basis for it. The media largely drove that, & claims were made that could have affected the election of the President.” A.G. Bill Barr @BretBaier
The tweet was almost certainly a direct response by Trump to a “Fox and Friends” segment the President was presumably watching on TV at the time.
Here's a screengrab, for context.
And here are responses to Trump's tweets this morning, from reporters and political observers.
The president has repeatedly talked about “dirty cops” in the investigation into his campaign. Yet in matters not involving him, he largely ignores allegations of impropriety by law enforcement, even some on videotape. https://t.co/MYmXNSTG0D

Actually given the most recent tweet this was actually a response to the initial segment.
