Fox News spin: Comey should have taught Trump how to obey the law because Trump is stupid

So, predictably, the Fox News talking heads and endless set of pro-Trump spinners (Corey Lewandowski being the most reptilian of them all) are slandering Comey in every way possible in order to undermine his testimony today -- calling him a coward, calling him a deep state swamp dweller (their favorite accusation these days), etc.

The most laughably idiotic spin of all is the claim they keep repeating that all of this IS COMEY'S FAULT because he should have taught Trump how to obey the law. You see, Trump is too stupid to understand that ordering all others out of a room to speak privately to the FBI director about an ongoing investigation IS a problem (and now spin to Loretta Lynch! Emails! Benghazi!). Trump doesn't understand his own actions, see? We must treat him like a toddler, see? Comey didn't teach him the law, see? It's all Comey's fault!

Seriously. If Trump is as ignorant of the law as they suggest, why aren't they calling for his removal from office? Oh yeah, because conservative.
