It makes sense. Nina isn't a small-time mole, like Jamey was. Jamey was small time and only worked for Gaines. Nina was like, internationally involved and had been a mole for ages. She didn't work for Gaines, she worked for Drazen, or people that Drazen knew. She wouldn't have known much about the plan to kill Palmer, but she knew to kill Jamey, and she knew to let Drazen know Palmer isn't dead.

Overall, it makes sense

I've seen Season 1 twice, but both times were about four years ago. It made sense to me at the time, but I'd have to watch it again. Fortunately, I plan on doing so soon.

I did find this:

When Jack confronts Nina about the key card in episode 3, she deflects his suspicion by pointing out that she was with him in Santa Barbara the day it was last used at headquarters, and therefore someone else must have used it that day to set her up. In fact, she altered the date on the card to cover her tracks. *The dead shooter's thumb cut off by Jack in an early episode yields no ID. The speculative explanation is that "either this guy doesn't exist or else he has some friends in very high places." In fact, Nina is the "friend," erasing the record from the database. *Nina calls Teri, in the car and tells her that the dead body Jack found was Alan York, thus alerting Teri that the man she is riding with in the car is not Alan York. Nina does this because she was not aware of Ira Gaines or the details of his plan, and thus did not know the significance of the name Alan York. She may also not have known that the Bauers were going to part of the plan, although its more likely that she helped provide the Drazens with information on them than Jamey, who seemed genuinely shocked when she learnt that they had been kidnapped. *Jack shoots Nina, per Gaines' order. Nina and Gaines did not know of each other's existence. So, when Gaines ordered Jack to shoot Nina, he didn't know she was on his side. *Nina helps catch Jamey Farrell because she wanted to deflect her own involvement by fingering Jamey. *Nina brings Teri and Kim to the safe house, essentially setting a trap for them to be recaptured. She then leads Teri to realize that she and Jack were lovers, turning Teri against her and giving her an excuse to leave. *Once Alexis Drazen is stabbed and taken into custody, Nina doesn't tell the Drazens because telling them about Alexis does not further her objective, which is to ensure that Palmer is assassinated by the end of the day. *Nina told the Drazens where to find Kim, to provide them with leverage to force Jack to kill Palmer. *The Drazens want Jack and his family dead. Why doesn't Nina just kill Kim and Teri when she has the chance? Because Nina's objective is Palmer's assassination and not the deaths of Jack's family. *And why does Nina help Jack so loyally throughout the season? Because Nina knows that she is more powerful with Jack's confidence than without."

Most are poor explanations, but I'll accept them. S1 is just so damn fun to watch.

She's not a simple Mole. She's deep undercover her cover only got blown because she started contacting Drazen had she not told Jack that Kim was dead Jack would be none the wiser and season 2 would begin with her still working at CTU and so Jack would find out her duplicity following the guys who blew up CTU.

Yeah it makes sense easily. Plus when he says "And People I know and work with may be involved in both" It always went in on her, so that's what made me guess she was a mole..lol
