Trump is a naif? Just a babe in the woods?

"As former FBI director James B. Comey held the political world in thrall Thursday from inside a packed Senate hearing room, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan walked into an unusually empty press briefing across the Capitol.
Before Comey’s testimony about his private interactions with President Trump had even concluded, Ryan joined an effort already underway among GOP lawmakers to place it in the best possible light for Trump.

“Of course there needs to be a degree of independence” between federal law enforcement and the White House, Ryan said. But he added, “The president’s new at this. He’s new to government, and so he probably wasn’t steeped in the long-running protocols that establish the relationships between [the Justice Department], FBI and White House. He’s just new to this.”

Ryan later made clear that he was “not saying it’s an acceptable excuse” and that his remark was “just my observation.” But he was one of many GOP lawmakers willing to minimize Trump’s alleged meddling and demands for loyalty as the fumblings of a political tyro — or the behavior of a real estate mogul accustomed to having his orders followed."

Oh FFS. Really, Speaker Ryan?

Officer, I'm new to this driving thing. I really didn't know I couldn't make a left turn across double yellow lines and 8 lanes of traffic, honest!

Simple, if you are not qualified don't take the job. And if you took it, take what comes with it and no cherry picking.

He was experienced with the law enough to ask everyone else to leave before talking to Comey!
