Rule notes

Official Runlings:

When you use this incident to play a card with a Hidden Agenda icon for free, you must show the card to your opponent to verify its status before playing it face down on the table. Activating this incident does not suspend play and is not a valid response to any action. You may activate it only between other actions. The incident must already be face up before you may suspend play to download another card. See icons in game text.
