We Now Know What/Who Mac Is

It's all tied to the final scene when Harry and Molly confront Mab and Marcone about them setting him up so Marcone could get his revenge.. Marcone didn't like that so Rudolph is putting some heat on.

I don’t think Rudolph is in Marcone pocket. Marcone has no interest in stirring up trouble with Harry at this moment. The reds owned Rudolph so if any of their allies were aware of that they could have taken him over.

I think Marcone may have wanted to make Harry sweat just a bit, that final scene in Skin Game between them pissed him off, but he doesn't want to alienate Mab either. That is why the investigation went through internal affairs which was weird because neither Murphy nor Harry have been associated with the police force for some time, and not at all when Skin Game went down.
Remember at the time when Rudolph showed up on Murphy's doorstep, Marcone had no clue that the s- -t was about to hit the fan and the world was going to go to hell in a hand basket, he needs Harry now.

But Marcone was organizing the talks and it was very important for him to make them go smoothly. He had absolute no interest in stirring up trouble.
He has a very good idea about Harry can react. The timing is just not right.
Conspiracy Theorist:
It’s clear that Rudy is a freelancer, Marcone won’t touch him and doesn’t need him, the Reds purchased him but Harry ended that source of revenue. He was anybodies who needed info in relation to Chicago, but this is way beyond slipping someone a few files, the only people with a ongoing beef against Harry is the White Council who are trying to oust him. The Fomor are about to attack and they were allies of the Reds. They aren’t concerned with getting Harry prosecuted, they are seeking to level the City, Harry, CPD and Rudy and all.

Agreed. Why would Marcone need Harry out of the way right now? As an Accorded Baron of Chicago, Harry is obliged to support Marcone at the peace talks... so Marcone benefits from Harry being free to act on his behalf. Marcone's getting everything he wants, the last thing he needs is to give Harry a reason to act against him. If Harry was an obstacle to some future plan, removing him would make sense. But from what we know now, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I don't doubt somebody's putting pressure on Rudolph, but Marcone's the least likely suspect. Allies of the Reds, Mavra (who's resorted to blackmail before, and is mentioned in Peace Talks), Black Council members, or Nicodemus are all possibilities (though if it's Nicodemus, I don't think we'll see a resolution in Battle Ground.)
