"...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.

Not only did he have support of those interest groups, but he was getting a full salary from USF with his only job as chief fund raiser for terrorists! So, basically our tax dollars (Federal School) funded his recent activities.
