It seems odd that Wilson didn’t make the list but the gatekeepers (security and lawyer) gave a nod to just tell him some things because why not right? They don’t “just” reluctantly groan and reveal some stuff and basically improvise the parts they want to reveal on the spot. How do they know what to say and what not to say? Why do they have to say anything at all? They weren’t feeling any kind of pressure, it wasn’t improvised, the groan and the head nod to give info was all just a performance for Wilson. Wilson did not surprise them with a scenario they haven’t considered - that a semi high level executive of a public government branch may decide to poke around. That’s like Bush saying that no one imagined prior to 9/11 that terrorists could fly planes into buildings and were caught off guard. It’s so far from reality, “it’s not even wrong”.
I think they have a cover story pre-selected for every scenario - depending on who is probing. The meeting that took place before Wilson flew down was most likely investigating his background and connection, the nature of his inquiry, what he already knows and doesn’t know, which cover story is appropriate for the situation, and whether they want to use him as a patsy to allow this to leak later and what impact said leak will have. They had his full psychological background and history reviewed by then, also knowing that he angers easily. I’m sure they didn’t expect Wilson to keep a secret - he didn’t sign anything, there were no death threats on him or his family, they didn’t even say “hey please don’t tell anybody, pretty please”. They knew there was nothing guaranteeing that what they said won’t be passed on and eventually leak to the public.
These types have wishful thinking but they’re not stupid, and while they cannot predict or control cosmic forces, public accessing channeled info, and many other things outside their control, a government suit probing above his “need to know” is a pretty basic scenario to plan for. So I tend to agree this smells like disinfo, a “controlled disclosure” of sorts, which pacifies people but also makes the government seem largely out of the loop and not responsible for these projects.
I do think at a high level there is no difference between private and public - tax money, drug money, every kind of black market money, and simply just cooking the books from legitimate/front companies, it’s all just sources of funding and it makes no difference to those groups how the bills are paid. Not to mention, money is probably irrelevant at certain levels - how many people work on reverse engineering UFO’s and then get their paycheck and go shopping with the wife and kids later? Maybe they do, or maybe their entire lives are removed from normal society to be extra safe.
