Raffi Melkonian added,
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
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.
Eh I dunno, it sure looks to me like there was concerted coordination going on between AMK and the WH. When, and to what degree, we shall see (hopefully). But I'd hold off on saying there is nothing at all there.

No, but Raffi did!
I don't think Raffi said more than I've said, which is, if NBC has the story they've been throwing around Twitter all day, they should stand it up and show us the reporting, or explain that they were wrong or don't actually have it.
