Because the bid nets them money now. And if they can't do the job, then they can beg for more govt assistance or just not deliver.
It was just standard Trump Administration corruption.
The whole plan was for Trump to still be president so they could get approval to not do the work at all but keep the money.
This has been going on literally since Clinton. Try again.
Exactly.
