The reporter who quoted Mitch saying no recess appointments deleted the tweet. No explanation.

Thinking out loud here…

Did Mitch tell her to delete it? Was Mitch so confident saying this because Thune is the new majority leader (basically in name only)?

Did she let that cat out of the bag and got her hand slapped?

Phonefagging/workfagging so I can’t link sauce.

Does Mitch know Thune will do only what Mitch approves?
