Who is Red John?

Theories of galesquintswell (1)

My bet's on Partrigde. But this a comment on something that just struck me: what if PJ made the video HIMSELF of Loreli saying the 7 suspects. He could have crafted that video himself in order to send Lisbon (and consequently the whole gang) on a goose chase after those shady characters PJ suspects are up to no good. Who also PJ does not believe ARE RJ, but that scrutinizing them could LEAD  him to RJ. This would explain how the heck that video was made.

How possibly could RJ have known a list of suspects in PJ's head? a) RJ is psychic? Waaay too easy. We are supposed to bite that bait. naw. b)He saw a list of those names? A fake list set out by PJ just in case he was spyed upon? plausible, but also not very intriguing writing.

Another thing,  if someone can so easily (twice now) get into PJ's room, why then are those people not bugging the room? And why are PJ and Lisbon not cautious in that regard? They blab on and on in his room RIGHT after PJ's room was (allegedly) broken into for the "fake" list -as we know it. Poor writing? Heller way underestimating audience? i dont think so. this is way too obvious a consideration. basic spy tactics, c'mon. Perhaps PJ knows/assumes room is bugged (like any good detective/mentalist would conclude) and makes sure he only says things in that room he doesnt care that RJ (or whoever the bugger may be) hears. He may even say things deliberately to lead listener in a particular direction.

summary:
1)PJ crafted Loreli video. she agreed for whatever reason or exchange.
2)Video sent Lisbon down a path to get the 7
3)PJ was broken into for the fake list
4)PJ assumes he's being bugged so uses it to his advantage.
5)PJ tells Lisbon only what he needs her to hear to get him closer bcs HE wants to be the ONLY and FIRST one to catch and destroy RJ.

Argue on this theory or rate it.
