HYDRA has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. for the past 70 years. The dirty laundry is so great that now S.H.I.E.L.D. is declared a terrorist organization. If S.H.I.E.L.D. is suppose to be the one wearing the white hat, how could it be seen as the Masters of Evil instead of a law enforcement agency whose top brass did an extremely poor job in vetting personnel? Well, letting known Nazi scientists in the front door at the beginning was not so smart, but apparently over time the good guys were adopting questionable and illegal methods to get the job done; you know, the old the-end-justifies-the-means argument. In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s episode "Providence"  dangerous weapons and alien tech was suppose to be disposed of (Operation Slingshot) but they were stored in the Fridge for future use and research (bad call). Garret and Ward raided the Fridge and helped themselves to that tech. Dollar bet Loki's scepter from the Avengers was stored there too, and that's how HYDRA got it - a sleeper agent with clearance walked in,  got it and handed it over to Von Strucker. No telling what else was done. S.H.I.E.L.D. brass may have had Eric Selvig (Thor the Dark World)  doped up to produce insanity so he couldn't go to the press about what he knew about Loki's scepter. Hey if they can take Jane Foster's equipment without a court order this would not be a stretch. The Good Guys have been so shady in their dealings that they have zero credibility. How can they argue HYDRA is bad when they have done similar acts?
