It actually did happen.
As I wrote in my book, Destiny Betrayed, Second Edition, I show how Gordon Novel cozied up to Willard Robertson, a member of Truth and Consequences. That is how he met Garrison. He offered him his services as an electronics surveillance expert--which he was--in order to make sure no one was tapping his phones or planting bugs in his office. Garrison hired him, and of course, Novel used this position to do just that: wire his phones and bug his offices.
He then turned over these tapes to 1.) Walter Sheridan, who was paying him five hundred bucks a day, and 2.) To Allen Dulles who had initially recruited him.
Garrison eventually figured out what happened. He subpoenaed Gordon before the grand jury. The CIA furnished him with two lawyers, and they covered for him as he sold his tavern and racetrack in the New Orleans area, and fled to Columbus, Ohio. Garrison tried everything to get him back, but could not, due to the governor not honoring his extradition requests, Jim Rhodes. (See Destiny Betrayed, 233-35)
