Hi, Cliff,
That's an interesting line of thought... but I still think it is better to go after the leads we have rather than think about the leads we don't have. As you suggest, even if the patsy set-up and the hit were separate ops, they still had to be coordinated somehow. And the people who could handle intel agents surely limits the field.
And the evidence is profound that the CIA and JFK's Administration were at war. At war over Cuba, at war over Vietnam, and undoubtedly at war over JFK's attempted Soviet rapprochement.
From the news story that broke less than two months before the assassination:

Other American agencies here are incredibly bitter about the CIA.
"If the United States ever experiences a 'Seven Days in May' it will come from the CIA, and not from the Pentagon," one U.S. official commented caustically.
("Seven Days in May" is a fictional account of an attempted military coup to take over the U.S. Government.)
