I think Sami thought he could brazen it out. He thought he couldn't be touched and used the USF as a cloak of protection. He has/had one newspaper in town very sympathetic towards him, he had Reno drop the charges against his brother, he figured they weren't keeping track of him and he had the whole faculty (as well as the national union) behind him, plus CAIR & other Muslim groups supporting him. He thought he was untouchable.

"...he figured they weren't keeping track of him...."

He certainly was not listening to Bill O'Reilly. LOL. I think you are right, though. He did believe those interest groups were adequate to protect him. I'm glad.
