possibly to do the opposite of what everyone would think you’d do?

CIA isn’t above being a revenue generating department.

  I don't think it would about the revenue, but just to mimic what actual hackers would do. CIA has access to "infinite" money.

    I don't think that precludes them taking easy money that Congress doesn't need to know about

Why would the CIA not sell information to governments? That is money to fund future blackops, office coffee, new permanent markers, or whatever else the CIA may need. Leaking information and earning money on it seems like a win win. You supply an article that the Danish government paid for some access to the Panama papers. Do you have any documentation that this happened with the Pandora papers?
