In other words, he’s smarter than most of the security entourage. It’s like getting a 97 on the ASVAB.

He turned down Pitt to attend Robert Morris in the fall. That school requires a minimum 3.0 GPA to transfer into engineering. No SAT score required.

No doubt he was book smart. But, was he so brilliant that he could outsmart everyone - Secret Service and the police?
All the red flags were there, and they did nothing. Either they were incompetent, or it was a conspiracy.
