Hey Bennyhef.

Thanks for the civil initiation. While the bulk of the deleted scenes are proven to be not canon, I believe the reporting of Hawkeye's "flip" to the Council would also be non-canon because 1) due to the scenes being cut, the Hill depicted in the final cut was loyal to Fury and supported his actions, and wouldn't have snitched; 2) the Council never berates Fury for withholding said information nor are they ever seem to be aware of it.

Hence I believe there's nothing to support the fact that, in canon, Hill reported it. In the deleted scenes, Hill was loyal to the Council & was there to spy on Fury. In the final cut, there's no trace of her allegiance to said Council. I believe in the final cut, she never told them as she didn't have ties to them, and the Council wasn't made aware of the fact that Hawkeye had been enthralled.
