Maybe McMaster is the one who called the CIA & NSA after the Russian meeting?

And then someone from the CIA/NSA contacted the media? And now McMaster is caught a little off guard and wondering what his next move will be?

After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

Isn't McMaster the only person in the Trump admin. who has a clue of what's going on? Would anyone else in the admin have the experience to know that Trump had endangered lives?

1. He's certainly the only sane one in there

2. That was my first thought

Then he made the very parsedly worded press conference to give himself cover.

3. McMaster is still active duty military

He has to be very, very careful what he says or he will wind up in front of a court martial judge. He didn't really have a choice about taking the job. If he puts in his retirement package then we'll know we are well and truly screwed.
