It could be correct, and obviously I have no insider information on this, but it just seems self-defeating for Griffin to have spent his first presser stressing the ''all in, or all out'' mentality only to turn it into ''all in or all out, unless you need like 3 more weeks and three more meetings, in which case take as long as you like: no need for any firm answers'' as soon as contact is made with AD. Strikes me as kind awkward.
