Irrelevant. There may have been an agent, but that agent could not control the information presented. The signals intelligence that the liberty was collecting would have let them know the israelis were going for the west bank and johnson would have told them to stand down. The only reason this didn't happen is that it caught everybody (US, USSR and the jordanians) by surprise. That is why the liberty was attacked.
Johnson might have been told to give certain orders... when your predecessor has been shot in the head by "intel-agents" it is pretty clear youre not in charge.
Always patriots and betrayers in the mix. Even in these dark days.
