    How is it even legal? I know people can donate money to the government but it's done by writing an unconditional check to the US Treasury. You don't get to tell them how to spend it.

    "This project is being funded by private sources. The project budget is currently x." Pretty sure that's what you get back. Wording FOIA requests is like talking to fae people, whatever level of specificity you use they will try to bend to the absolute minimum of understanding and if you demand anything too outright they will just say no those are faerie secrets.

    The list will come out. And if there's any justice, every single one of those fuckers should be banned from ever bidding on government contracts.
