Here’s what IS believable (based on this @politico report on #SCOTUSNomination process):
1. Kennedy tells Trump of his #scotus retirement, Trump says thanks for your service & do you have a rec, AMK says nice things about Kavanaugh.https://politi.co/2u9g08W

Agreed. I don't know why everyone has to fire up the outrage machine over this. And even if AMK directly made the ask for BMK, even as a condition of retirement, there's still nothing wrong with that.

What if Trump/AMK meeting wasn't about recommendation, but requirement for agreeing to step away?

doesn’t make much sense. what leverage did kennedy have once he announced his retirement? he can’t unretire if trump appointed someone else

Agreed. But it simply reinforces the understanding of the process which relies not upon written agreements, but rather upon understandings between and among those in a very narrow and ratified social/legal stratum. You define the category so narrowly that only one person fits.
