Golo timing
Looks like the meeting was turned into a delaying action of some kind, I guess. To get out from under the utter unger. I thought they might have wanted to give him the chance to partially redeem himself, but I guess they either didn't trust him or didn't want to give him any kind of a going away present: the opportunity to approve it and look good for once....Rather they chose the message to be: Just go away. (Just slink away!)
All just my interpretation, of course. No one's leaking to me, needless to say! I'm a bit prone to fantasize - hence my 14 year old bet on Sarepta!!! (Sometimes my fantasies work out!)
