I may have missed it but I don't think I saw a theory including this: 

RJ tells Patrick that he knows about that suspect list. Then, one of the suspects gets killed. Now, if that list is bogus, doesn't Patrick realize that he put the remaining suspects in danger? If it is not bogus and the list valid, this still means he put 6 of 7 in danger (one being RJ).

Since we know that Patrick wanted his list to be stolen, I believe he made a list of RJ accomplices that he has no doubt. Either he'll get information out of them by putting some pressure on and waiting for a mistake, or RJ will kill them to prevent this which will cause RJ lose power. In both scenarios Patrick wins. Great plan.

But I have no idea how did he figure out these names. Especially Reede Smith and McAllister are pretty hard to be sure about since they're not that much involved. 

Every single opinion is appreciated, please share your thoughts.
