Would the CIA willingly do so much damage to the US? Surely there are other ways to sabotage the NSA instead of doing something as high profile as leaking NSA documents to the public. Besides, I think leaking classified documents of other intelligence agencies is something no agency does, because an escalation of this sort would be disastrous for both agencies involved.

Has he really done that much damage? People are more afraid of the NSA than ever. One could argue that's exactly what they wanted.
I don't think the majority of people in the US are afraid, but aware.
Last thing CIA would do is reveal them. All leverage is lost. They would instead hold them hostage.
Who knows, in today's political climates, anything and everything will be done
