[Captain America: Winter Soldier] What was the political fallout from Project: Insight?

Along with the whole Mandarin trouble, which got the VP arrested, how badly did the US Administration take it in the shorts from its political enemies (and allies, for that matter)?

First off, anyone who thinks that the UN is going to take over the US would have a field day with this, since SHIELD was overseen by the World Security Council.

Second, anyone who thinks the defense budget is too pork-laden is going to wonder just how much American money went into the building of three heli-carriers which are now so much scrap metal.

Third, the complete leaking of SHIELD's database makes Edward Snowden look like a minor inconvenience.

Finally, two branches of US government were infiltrated by Hydra; do we believe that it only went as far as Secretary Pierce, or Senator Stern from Pennsylvania, or will we get several senate and hosue committees asking "Are you now or have you ever been a member of Hydra?"  ("Nope, just a communist sleeper agent."  "Oh, well, that's fine then, on your way.")

Agents of SHIELD TV series Spoilers!

SHIELD was shut down, with all still operating agents either retiring(and getting jobs elsewhere) or being labeled criminals and chased by various agencies like CIA and the military.

The larger public(including most governments) didn't differentiate between Hydra and SHIELD, to them this was just SHIELD going rogue as an organisation. So Hydra survived and established themselves as a legit corporation and soaked up a lot of the people leaving SHIELD.
