> Do you think the several people who've been close to him who describe him as breathtakingly stupid are lying, or incorrect (fooled by another part of that act, one supposes)? James Comey wrote that he was moderately intelligent (I forget Comey's exact phrasing). And I think that's true. He's smart enough to know when to lie to escape legal jeopardy, so I think that's a mark of some amount of intelligence. But he is also horriffically broken in some part of his personality, to the point where he lacks empathy, and constantly lies to obtain advantage.
