What is the legal situation with this? I mean, forget for a second that illegal things are done all the time, I presume it would be unconstitutional were the CIA or NSA found to be paying google engineers? How big of a scandal would this be, or is it kind of tacitly understood in the way that black-budgets for large projects are?
It would almost be as big a scandal as someone sharing internal slides showing secret programs to illegally and unconstitutionally spy on every person with a cellphone in their own country.
Or perhaps a video of a high ranking intelligence official lying to congress under oath, whilst answering questions received in advance, and then never being prosecuted for perjury to cover up such illegal activity.
