//…he's a bully and it seems not very bright//
Raab attended Dr Challoner's Grammar School, Amersham. He went on to study law at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jurisprudence. He then pursued further studies at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he won the Clive Parry Prize for International Law, and obtained a Master of Laws degree.
After leaving Cambridge, Raab trained professionally at the major City of London law firm Linklaters, completing his mandatory two-year training contract at the firm. Raab qualified as a solicitor in the UK under Linklaters in the year 2000.
Dr Challoner’s is one of the leading grammar schools in the country. You don’t get to go there, or remain there, if you are not very bright. Nobody who is not very bright will be offered a law course at Oxford or a post-graduate position at Cambridge. Linklaters is one of the UK’s leading international law firms. It is one of just five members of the "Magic Circle” of elite London law firms. I couldn’t be sure, but I doubt they take on anybody who is not very bright.
But apart from that, you could be right.

//Alas still a bully .//
Depends on your definition of "bully", Ann. We none of us have seen the report (and I don't know whether or not it will be published) so it's pointless speculating on what form Mr Raab's bullying was said to have taken. It is interesting, though, that 16 of the 18 allegations were dismissed, which suggests to be that the shout of "bully" from some quarters perhaps comes a little too readily.

//Academically bright doesn't necessarily mean also socially/worldlywise bright.//
Indeed it doesn't, OG. But I would venture to suggest that Mr Raab is fairly bright in that respect too. I have my own opinions on the manner of these complaints against him but I'll wait to see the details before I commit to them.
