Yep, this is just like the DS - to get someone into a compromised position, either by stupidity which is likely in schifty's case, or by coercion when the participant is not so willing, and then blackmail that individual to do whatever bidding the DS mandates (the name of Roberts comes to mind). Then when it is in the best interest of the DS, they throw their victim under the bus, and voila ^ this!
Is that Schiff? ?
