With proper compartmentalization he would know a lot of generalities about the Project but few details, and knowing that the war was coming he would see the Project (with resources far greater than his own) as the way to grow his empire and secure his well-being and comfort. He wouldn't know where Prime Base was located, but he probably could arrange to meet the Director of the Project and give him a thoughtful gift... perhaps laced with a few different airborne biological weapons wrapped in impermeable seals that dissolve slowly with time. In short, he would have the knowledge and access to bring down the Project without the Project itself being full of idiots or otherwise wrong people.

My version of Krell is similar to this. I have Krell being a low level esper with short term precognition that he was using to increase his wealth. When suddenly events were not happening as he foresaw, he looked for a reason why and discovered that someone was mucking up the future. Through that, he discovers some information about the Morrow Project, and seeks to disrupt the Project for his gain. He is ruthless, wealthy and determined.
