So for the federal government its a sticky situation. If they come out and try to ram something through it likely suffers that same fate. If they cheerlead for an option, they potentially compromise the independence and process.

That's right and that's why they were doing what they were doing. I think they believe it is in the nation's best interest but were trying to create a front for an open and "fair" process.
Too bad they compromised the process by having a corrupt NEB (or, the appearance of one).
