Raining on the east coast. You are watching Fox Friends First im jillian mele. Rob im rob schmitt. Going to be a nasty day. Top story at this hour. Speculation swirling as we await the first indictment in special counsel Robert Muellers russia probe. Its an announcement that could be made today. Jillian Top Republicans are already calling into question the whole investigation over alleged leaks by muellers team. Griff jenkins is live in washington, d. C. With what we can expect today. Good morning, griff. Jillian and rob good morning. Forget the drilling in the background. Thats not muellers team thats just people working on our building. People could be taken into custody as soon as this morning if reported leaks on investigation are true that the grand jury has approved these first charges. Look, we have no idea who might be charged or even what the charges are, although we have reported on some of the targets of muellers investigation like mike flynn, the formers President National security advisor or Paul Manafort the campaign chairman. Whoever it is, congressman trey gowdy a former prosecutor himself says is he frustrated this has leaked out. We dont know who is being charged. We dont know what theyre being charged for. The only conversation i have had with Robert Mueller, it was stressing to him the importance of cutting out the leaks with respect to serious investigation. Make no mistake, disclosing grand jury material is a violation of the law. The Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff says he has not been informed of the charges and wouldnt comment if he knows whether or not the president is being investigated. And when pressed, heres what he had to say. The idea that the president is not under investigation is, that your conclusion . I cant comment on it, george. I cant answer that one way or the other. You wouldnt know whether Robert Mueller is investigating the president . I cant comment on that at all. Meanwhile President Trump unleashed on twitter yesterday a series of five tweets and pointing to a total lack of investigation into links between russia and Hillary Clinton and democrats saying at one point, quote there is so much guilt by democrats clinton and now the facts are pouring out, do something now, guys, we have stakeouts all over town. We wont tell you where. If something happens, we will bring it to you as soon as it does. Just a quick note the president pointing out on twitter this russia tax reform agenda, it may get in the way. Republicans are supposed to unveil that bill on wednesday. Heather all right, griff. Thank you. And with the speculation swirling in washington about who will be charged, a new jersey governor chris christie, a former federal Prosecutor Says if its you, theres no doubt you dont already know. The people before the grand jury wouldnt know there were charges. Did you go in there, you testify, you get out. So i think whats really important to focus on here today is what we dont know. And what we dont know is who the person is we dont know what the charges are. We dont know anything except there is a report that someone says there will be charges on monday and that there is a sealed indictment. So once that happens why have a throat react to. One thing thats clear here is i heard someone say are people nervous . Believe me, if youre the person, you know. I mean, youve already been told you are a target. Your lawyers have been if you have been asked to come into the grand jury they have got to advise you as to your status if you are a target. If you have been told you are a target, believe me, you are not sleeping well anyway. Rob all right now to a fox news alert.

You are absolutely right. This is the first time they have ever participated. They usually stand even after the furor over President Trumps comments about players. They still remain standing. Sunday the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks played one of the greatest games this season. But the actions of the texan players before the game, well that still has many people talking because it was so dramatic. For the first time this season, the texans took a knee during the National Anthem. All but 10 of the players were kneeling in protest of controversial comments made by team owner bob mcnair. During a recent meeting with other nfl team owners, discussing the nfl players protest for racial and social issues during the National Anthem. Mcnair said we cant have inmates running the prison. After his comments were made public, he issued an apology to his team and the nfl players twice stating that his comments were very regretful and he went on to say i am truly sorry to the players for how this has impacted them and the perception that it has created of me, which could not be further from the truth. Even jayz tackled mcnairs comments telling fans at his show in anaheim, california, whatever you believe in, we come from one source, which means we are all brothers and sisters. Now, beyond the mcnair issue, the nfl and players have cancelled their meeting in philadelphia today.

The protest in response to team owner bob mcnair comparing the players continue to mates. Here now react is former nfl player and author of liberalism or thousand turn good men into wineries, would he byes and wimps, burgess owens. Thank you for joining us. Your initial reaction when you, first of all, heard bob income narrows comments last week. There is no limitation. Now they are call their employer racist. You know, what are it comes down to is i remember growing up something called inmates running the asylum or the tail wagging the dog. Tenksd, the translation is very simply, this employees do not have an opportunity to boss the boss. And these young men have to understand that and what gets me is that we are they are so upset, so sensitive about issues like being called s. O. B. S or whatever and meanwhile in the black Community Whats happening to what our women are being called . Whats happening to the disrespect, the racial stereotypes of black women of young black men, now they are looked at at thugs. We have an issue. The issue is not what we are seeing in the nfl. The issue is whats going on behind the scenes young people trained and indoctrinated to hate our country. Done by the same people, the same left trying to make this an issue now. Now. Jillian some people can understand why they would be upset. Poor choice of words on bob mcnairs party. Fighting this battle for a Second Season there was supposed to be a social concerns meeting between the players and owners in philadelphia today. Thats been cancelled. Malcolm jenkins has been saying we want to move past. This how do you see them being able to move past it . First thing if theyre concerned about the image of the nfl being inmates, lets do something about that, 20 guys every single year for the last 17 years arrested for different things. There is an issue with thuggery within the nfl. And we have to understand where that comes from. At the same time, it is not up to white men to handle the black problem. We have wealthy young men now. Lets get together and figure out what they can do in the community to make sure that 83 of those black men that arent working begin to work. 75 of black boys now in careful unable to pass reading and writing standards, what are black people doing about that . Maybe we can hold these black politicians accountable because they are the ones that is protecting these guys and allowing this. There is a lot to be done and can be done by black people though and make sure that we as black men stand up and man up and make sure our community is being taken care of the way it should be. Jillian i know you have noticed and i have noticed, too. So players can learn a thing or two from a guy called chris long donating all paychecks. Im so glad you brought it up. Chris lock is a minority player. And if we clearly want to have things done, how about if our black men on the sidelines do the exact same thing. Last five games donating to inner city communities. If we did that, we pull our resources together and pull our thoughts and start mentoring our kids one thing we have a better chance. Last thing we need is marxists to teach kids they have no hope in this country. Thats exactly whats happening. Kids are looking ought. They dont have positives at home. They are looking ought. Stand up, man up. Lets get this thing done with by working halder and being a good honest, good american. Jillian hopefully they are listening. Burgess owens, thank you for joining us this morning.
