"Might", "Could", "Possibly", "Some".

Makes it very easy to not commit to anything at all.

also lots of coverage in the media. But as I pointed out earlier, we've seen similar stories before.

And the WSJ journalist on Lawrence's show made it absolutely clear that even now some of their WH sources are saying McMaster might still be there for months.

Some people have misread the WaPo story as meaning McMaster has already been fired, or will be fired within days.
