How do these things play out? Say the CEO wants to fire the CTO, how do they go about engaging consultants for the job? Do they discuss their goal explicitly with the consultants or is there some sort of underhanded language where the consultant team somehow understands why they are being hired?
If you are being explicit, do you risk leaving a paper trail behind which might come back to hurt you? But if you are not explicit, maybe the consultants end up finding out that the CTO is in fact performing really good.
