michael cohen made the article much more disgusting, so how did michael cohen make the situation much worse for president trump by refusing to comply with the senate intelligence committee's request for document. well, after michael cohen refused to comply with the request for documents last week, the members of the senate intelligence committee voted unanimously all republicans, all democrats voted to empower the chairman and the vice chairman of the committee to issue subpoenas completely at their discretion, without checking with the full membership of the committee, that is very unusual for committee. normally it requires the vote for the full committee to issue even a single subpoena. but, thanks to donald trump's personal lawyer, issuing subpoenas to the president, issuing subpoenas to the president's children, to everyone in the white house and everyone who worked in the trump campaign, just became much much quicker and easier. now, everything that i've just said or any one of the things that i've just said is exactly the kind of thing that use to provoke a threat from michael

michael. >> two clarifications. on the signing statement broadly, are you saying that the president was not aware of that very law, of the details of that very long signing statement and it was just something done -- >> no, no, no that's not -- no. the president is obviously aware of what happened. the question that was asked is it is a process. it happened for administrations going back generations i'm sure. i don't have the precise nature of when signing statements came into being. this goes along with a bill signing to make sure that the executive branch's intent is as understood. >> a lot of things that were in that signing statement was carry overs from things obama had also objected to. but the president and the senior staff here was aware of what those things were and approved those. >> of course, yes. >> second question, on the flynn and the security clearance, you guys have made from the podium and the president made the big deal of the obama people gave him the clearance or reupped the clearance earlier. >

michael, i want to ask you about this. michael isikoff.dent trump is now blaming the administration when it comes to security clearance. they didn't trust president obama, his warning about michael flynn. so are they trying to have it both ways here? the security clearance given by the obama administration was good enough, but the warning given by the obama administration was not good enough. >> right. well, first of all, the idea that the renewal of the security clearance in 2016 was an obama administration move, yes, it happened -- it would have been done by mid-level bureaucrats at the defense intelligence agency. hardly something that would have gone up to anybody at the political level. and let's also remember the revelations of just last week from the house oversight committee indicating that general flynn had not fully disclosed his payments from the russian government through "rt" in the security clearance renewal process. so if he got the security clearance under false pretenses by failing to report that he had gotten payments fro

but if look at what you've been reporting regarding michael cohen and what's going on with michael flynnere's a recognition that even as the special counsel staffs up and kind of ratchets up his investigation, you're seeing a posture change. they are ramping up their investigations. there are witness lists that have been agreed upon. there are documents that have been requested. you're going to see a lot more things like this over the course of the comings days and weeks. it's worth noting members are home. they're in their recess period this week but i'm told staff still very hard at work. the big question now, is there any way to get any type of cooperation either via testimony or documents from michael flynn? his lawyers still say no. >> let's see what happens during the course of this day. phil, thanks very much. michael flynn is just one person from the president's orbit currently under investigation by the fbi or various congressional committees in the spotlight right now. the president son-in-law and close adviser jared kushner. in december he met a russian banker with close ties

national security adviser michael flynn was in his seventh day on the job. the president of the united states was in his seventh day on the job. sally yates called the white house counsel, who was in his seventh day on the job. she requested a meeting with the white house connell, don mcgann, and later that same day, the meeting happened. >> the national security adviser essentially could be blackmailed by the russians. finally, we told them that we were giving them all of this information so that they could take action. the action that they deemed appropriate. i remember that mr. mcgann asked me whether or not general flynn should be fired. and i told him that really wasn't our call that was up to them. but that we were giving them this information so they could take action. and that was the first meeting. >> and the only action that the white house took was that the next day don mcgann asked sally yates to come back to the white house to discuss the same subject again. >> the first topic in the second meeting was essentially why does it matter to doj if on

that's what the president said about michael flynn. >> three things.ne, comey was concerned enough, as you know, wolf, to take these notes down, concerned enough about trump, concerned enough about what he believed trump was asking him to do. two, in order to believe the white house's argument here you have to believe james comby is lying or that the memos that were red to michael schmidt at the "new york times" were misread in some way out of context, three, if james comey was lying and are h a vendetta against donald trump, he would have released this stuff or leaked it out shortly thereafter, he wouldn't wait in order to prereceiver the sanctity of the investigation into russia. it doesn't strich me that james comey had a vendetta against donald trump and would purposefully misinterpret. i think jeffrey toobin hits it and david axelrod hits it on the head, the white house has no choice but to dispute this account he said versus he said account because anything other than that puts them in significant legal peril. this is the only option, when is it'

michael: yeah.e looking for signs of service cost inflation, to be able to have an impact on the programs these guys have laid out over the last three months. it's an important feature, because it will eat into margins and become significant. we've seen completion crews. it is something to watch for. vonnie: and it is particular to certain areas. michael: we believe it will be seen first. vonnie: some companies are more able to withstand that. i should mention for disclosure purposes -- tell us why these two willis -- will withstand certain headwinds more than others. michael: we were looking for companies that have established programs. they have been long-term operators in the basin for decades. they have built up programs that multi-rigun, activity. and they are nearing cash flow neutrality. if there is cost flow inflation, and they have to pare back, they will lose as much growth as someone who has to haul activity. being operated in that area, they will have an advantage over others to have goo
