1: Jacques is the traitor: Jacques is trying to attract as big a crowd as possible to the charity ball to set off a grisly and shocking event to attract the Grimm.

1: Jacques is working from the inside: Jacques is trying to do the above on Salem's behalf...but thinks he is genre savvy enough to think the Grimm can't possibly win and believes the military and his daughters can safely defeat the Grimm while clearing Atlas' name by showing them being attacked. Whether or not he is Wrong Genre Savvy and dooms Atlas remains to be seen.

Holy shit. I think that works. Jacques gathers people. Weiss plays a concert. The Grimm crash it. She stops them then he uses her as the poster girl for a wave of propaganda laced good will movements. Next thing you know other people they help are scream how unfair the embargo on Schnee dust is. And he can sit back and let them protest for him and make his case while Ironwood deals with it. Then ironwood gives in. Embargo lifted.

I see Jacques as all business. By any means he wants to make money. And true to his old money roots. Hes gonna turn this setback into profit.
