What was said
"Someone could be working at Langley on a Friday, hand in their lanyard and their $89,000 a year salary, walk back in on Monday with a $689,000 a year salary working for another company now be handed the same lanyard and work at the same desk and be read in on the same things, but now they're not on the government payroll."
Dorey claims former CIA officer Andy Bustamante raised the trend of shifting intelligence functions from government staff to private contractors. He says the appeal is that contractor pay is less visible to the public than federal salaries, while allowing personnel to continue doing the same work in the same buildings.
