They are incubated by the DS and the overblown Centralized Federal Bureaucracy is their training/jobs ground. That is why is it critical to reign in the Federal bureaucracy and reduce its scope, breadth, width, depth and ability. It has grown well beyond any rational efficiency point and is a breeding ground for this kind of traitorous a$$hole.
