Schoomaker is a member of the 'slurg', sort of a fight club at the pentagon, a group of 12 that meets with utmost privacy.

He'd left service when Rummy called him back to work to help re-make the DOD. Calls him the 'snake-eater'.

Soooooo, Rummy called Snake-eater back. Mmmmm, interesting. If Shoomaker approved (even as subtle as approval by no objection), it had to be with Rummy's knowledge. At least one would think.

Wow, this may be a chess game. A carefully orchestrated chess game.

I didn't know about that group meeting in secret or that he was the snake eater. Thanks for that information.
