      Raffi Melkonian Retweeted Leigh Ann Caldwell

      So, this story was entirely made-up, just to be clear. Kennedy resigned, then was asked if he had recommendations, and then said Kavanaugh among other names.https://twitter.com/LACaldwellDC/status/1016703464137723904 …

      Leigh Ann CaldwellVerified account @LACaldwellDC
      I’ve deleted this tweet because it incorrectly implies a transactional nature in Kennedy’s replacement. I am told by a source who was not directly part of the talks that Kennedy provided Pres. Trump/ WH a list of acceptable replacements. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/ptxJmrbH9S

      I don’t think this is an accurate characterization. Even the walked-back version Caldwell is now reporting has Kennedy supplying names well before he resigned and one of those names being publicly added to the WH list last Nov—near the outset of the term Kennedy just concluded.pic.twitter.com/ArQcabPC9Q

      I don't read that tweet as saying that.

      That tweet provides no link between Kennedy and the list, and it doesn't say that Kennedy provides any names before the list was amended. Maybe that's so, but that tweet doesn't say it.

      It’s the second tweet of a two tweet thread. The first tweet said Kennedy provided a list of acceptable replacements, the second tweet says Kav was the only one thought conservative enough to add to the WH list, and then it states he was added to the WH list last november. ?

      Well, if they want to actually put out a reported story, I'll read it. Until then, I'll wait. @Pschlarm

          I think the complaint was just about your “exactly” — which implies you didn’t read the thread. Now you change the goalpost to say tweets aren’t worth reading if they don’t connect to a story?

          Replying to @feline_cannon @nycsouthpaw and

          No. That is OBVIOUSLY not my point — I regularly report via tweet — and the people I am talking to know that. The tweets remain ambiguous, however, so I'd like to see a story — which presumably would clarify things. As it is now, I don't know what they're claiming exactly.

          I’m all for clarity and more reporting, but the NBC reporter does report a connection between Kennedy and the list in this thread.
