Clearly, whatever the kids over at Fox News were chatting on this morning really put the screws to Donald Trump as he vented vociferously about fired FBI officials Andrew McCabe and James Comey on Twitter.
First, Trump accused Comey of lying under oath to a Senate committee writing, "Wow, watch Comey lie under oath to Senator G when asked “have you ever been an anonymous source...or known someone else to be an anonymous source...?” He said strongly “never, no.” He lied as shown clearly on @foxandfriends."

Then The Donald went after Andrew McCabe after reports that McCabe, like Comey, kept contemporaneous notes after every meeting with Trump.
See, that's what FBI agents are trained to do so they can recall details more clearly should they need to in the future. But, alas, Trump doesn't really grasp the concept of taking notes or being detail oriented.
Spent very little time with Andrew McCabe, but he never took notes when he was with me. I don’t believe he made memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. Same with lying James Comey. Can we call them Fake Memos?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2018
Trump finally lied to his followers saying Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is full of Democrats out to get him: "Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added...does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!"

Folks were quick to point out that Mueller is a longtime Republican. He was nominated by President George W. Bush for FBI director in 2001, and was appointed special counsel by Trump's own pick to be deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, who is also a Republican.
Of Mueller's investigation team, seven of the 17 lawyers brought on by Mueller have donated to Democratic political candidates. But, you know, facts...
The Twitterverse, of course, responded:
It can be a mistake to view Trump only through a lens of “impulse.” Mueller has been at work for 10 months, and Trump never tweeted his name until Saturday. Now again this morning. He is in a new, deliberate phase of attack. https://t.co/MFJqlkXB6r— Ari Melber (@AriMelber) March 18, 2018
This tweet about Fake Memos shows @realDonaldTrump is scared of what Andrew McCabe wrote.— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) March 18, 2018
Also, you know what a 21 year @FBI veteran would be really good at? Noticing indicators of criminality. https://t.co/emBukmmArF
Mueller is a Republican. Wray is a Republican. Rosenstein is one, too. So is Sessions. Also Comey. Ever met an FBI agent, Stable Genius? If you had, you’d suspect most are Republicans. But you wouldn’t know for sure. Why? Because they don’t let politics influence their work.— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) March 18, 2018

He was appointed this time by Rod Rosenstein who was appointed as Deputy AG by you, Donald Trump https://t.co/MoK2SNxeal
And it was shortly thereafter that Trump's team whisked him off to the golf course:
