that scenario seems kinda plausible. I don't see where the CIA and Fitzgerald would come into it though. Fitzgerald apparently has quite a reputation for integrity. The CIA, well, they've been known to perform a dirty deed or two, but I still fail to see why it would be to their advantage to pick a fight with someone that will have to deal with one way or the other until the end of his term. I don't think they are that inept.
