The FBI would not likely solicit the aid of a convicted serial killer on a case simply because he was brilliant. When Starling met with Lecter, she didn't realize he had inside knowledge of Buffalo Bill. The fact that he did was just a lucky break and frankly unlikely. So, the whole setup of the movie is a bit of a jumble.
