"fox and friends" first continues right now. ♪ ♪ going on ♪ magazine shade ♪ jillian: live look outside new york city early on friday morning. good morning, you are watching "fox and friends" first. rob: thanks for starting the day with us, one minute after the are, new developments on the uranium one bribery scandal. lawyer for the fbi informant who could hold the key to this. the lawyer saying the client was threatened by the obama
2:02 am
administration to stay quiet. jillian: the fbi's expected to turn over documents on the dossier. let's get to griff jenkins with the latest. >> reporter: uranium deals and dossiers, speaker ryan said the fbi agreed to hand production to the health intelligence can be related to the dossiers, fusion gps and related records. >> the fbi got in touch thursday afternoon and have informed us they will comply with our document requests and will provide documents congress has been asking for. >> reporter: the fbi will honor that commitment, turning of the criticism. this exposes the hypocrisy of democrats. >> this is hypocrisy at the highest level, maybe a new low in american politics, anything the clinton campaign falsely accusing this president of doing
2:03 am
over the past year they were doing themselves. >> reporter: in a separate developer and the fbi, the uranium one deal intensified before congressional committees about what he knows, was threatened by the obama administration after threatening the decision with 20% of america's uranium. >> he was furious about the decision made to sell for 20%. the fbi person, what is going on? why are they doing this? >> reporter: her client worries the conversations with the fbi could be in jeopardy so submitted a letter of preservation to assure no evidence will be destroyed. democrats are calling these investigations nothing more than destruction by bad faith politics and no word from
2:04 am
secretary clinton about this. rob: a lot to talk about on this topic. jillian: seems like we are always hearing someone in denial from the democratic party, someone else who during that time i knew nothing about this. kellyanne conway says america sees right through it. >> nothing to see here, i know nothing, because nobody -- this is exactly why a significant majority of americans until election day last year said they find hillary clinton to not be honest or trustworthy. they feel there is something dirty and a reputable going on. last time the party spent several million dollars and couldn't figure out whether they paid a foreign national to dig up dirt on their comments, that won't pass for many americans.
2:05 am
rob: there appears to be a good deal of smoke in this story but no fire at this point but let's talk about the simple fact there has always been a lot of smoke with the trump russia collusion and no fire either. when this was speculation on trump and russia the mainstream media went wild, tons of coverage for the past year. now the same situation with hillary clinton let me show you the mainstream media coverage of this story from last night and it is pretty fair on cnn, 30 minutes and 20 seconds, not bad, 2 minutes and 55 seconds by msnbc compared to hours of coverage they gave to trump and russia, abc, cbs and nbc still not sold on it after talking about speculation of trump and russia for the past year, it was all we heard. now that it flipped the other way you see the disparity. that is what we talk about with general media bias. here is jason chaffetz talking about the same thing. >> they have got to get the
2:06 am
media to do its job. that may be asking something impossible. places like time magazine, donald trump junior on the cover saying red-handed only to find out they used the wrong picture, the pictures should have been hillary clinton. that was the precursor, this document was the precursor for everything to do with robert mueller and all these other investigations and radio silence from the national media and silence from the democrats. rob: we want to get your comments on that, friends -- waiting for you to say it. friendsfirst@foxnews.com. jillian: you can tweet us or send a message on facebook, this won't go away anytime soon, we are learning more information,

one of them blowing kisses to their rescuers. >> they set sail from hawaii to tahiti but got knocked off course by a storm in may. >> they thrive thanks to water purifiers and supplies they stood away on board. rob: that is just madness, can't believe they survived. jillian: 10 minutes after the hour, possible breakthrough in the hunt for a potential serial killer terrorizing a tampa neighborhood. >> we believe this person has ties to this neighborhood and we want to speak to them. >> the unusual clue in this brand-new video. >> the uranium sale to russia and the way it was done, that is watergate modern age. rob: how deep does this scandal
2:11 am
go with the obama administration it hillary clinton? could hillary clinton face charges? our next guest says this case is a no-brainer. ♪ something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these. and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality.

2:15 am
month. the surveillance video shows the man wearing a hooded sweatshirt or jacket, flipping his cell phone. police of that action can bring a break in the case. as the investigation continues into the shooting death of benjamin mitchell, monica hoff and anthony, police of the new clip can provide identifying clues about a mystery man on the radar for days. >> i have come up with four reasons this person is running. one, they may be late for dinner. two, they are out exercising. three, they heard gunshots. and four, they just murdered benjamin mitchell. >> reporter: police are paying close attention to that flip of the cell phone hoping that triggers a memory for someone out there to help identify this
2:16 am
person. the reward is $35,000. at have a police headquarters, fox news. heidi heitkamp donald trump comparing the uranium scandal to watergate. >> i think the uranium sale to russia and the way it was done, with tremendous amount of money being passed, i think that is watergate modern age. rob: what charges could hillary clinton face if this does develop? criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor here to weigh in on that. we know what is alleged here and we are early in this but if it comes to fruition in the case republicans are trying to make? >> at the time she was making a decision about the uranium deal money was funneled to her husband, $500,000 by a russian source. someone deeply involved in a deal gave millions of dollars to
2:17 am
the clinton foundation at the same time. it is shocking. the idea this could go on without a special prosecutor looking into it is absurd. we know a person very close to the investigation was providing confidential information to the fbi was told not to talk about it by the obama justice department. the question is why isn't somebody looking into this? why did the obama administration cover it up when it was going on? jillian: our legal analyst has been talking about crimes she could face, 13 of them. one specifically you point out, the federal bribery statute. >> the federal prosecutor used the language of the bribery statute, said that my client has information about an attempt to
2:18 am
reach hillary and bill clinton. that is classic driver he. when you influence the uranium deal with violation of the federal bribery statute that could lead to hearing charges, the shocking part is no one has investigated it. rob: $500,000 to bill clinton to make a speech and meet with vladimir putin, three times his normal speaking engagement fee, $100 million, why do the russians wants to give money to an american foundation? as a prosecutor you got to admit there is a lot of smoke to start investigating. >> there is not only smoke, there is fire. after a while it is so absurd to stick your head in the sand. the reality is a lot of money was being funneled to the clintons at a time when the russians in effect took control of uranium. jillian: you are talking a lot
2:19 am
of money. how does nobody know? somebody knows something. rob: 18 minutes after the hour. protesting the protesters. the miami dolphins thing in the locker room during last night's game in baltimore and now their own police department saying enough is enough. the police union president live with how they are standing up for america. stay tuned. jillian: donald trump's birthday wish for hillary clinton. carly shimkus with the tribute -- twitter takedown coming up next. ♪ have a good time ♪ witness katy perry.

2:24 am
first amendment rights to disrespect the flag but students don't have a right to pray, talk about double standard, dan tweeted i thought it was freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. a new fox news poll finds since 2013 the nfl's favorability rating has gone down 18 points. that is a big jump. as you can imagine a lot of people find the nfl less favorable are republicans. it is a very political issue. jillian: donald trump junior. >> reporter: hillary clinton's birthday yesterday and donald trump junior used it as an opportunity to roast her on social media. last year she posted a tweet calling herself madame president on twitter. that didn't age well. she remembered twoing a year later in the arrogance of entitlement in this tweet exactly why it was never going

2:40 am
assassination, thanks for joining us this morning. 18,000 documents left of the 87th husband to be released over the course of the next six months as the investigation continues. what was the most important information? >> it will take a while to digest, there has been no smoking gun but part of the problem releasing part of the material is creates more reason for conspiracy theorists to say the real evidence is being retained and we have to wait for more of the release before making any conclusions. right now nothing has been released affect the part i was involved in, oswald fired three
2:41 am
shots, two started the president from behind and caused his death and there were no other shooters. rob: you don't buy these conspiracy theories, you say lee harvey oswald wanted to kill the president and ruby wanted to kill him and that is it. what is in those files? why is it we can't see them after 40 or 50 years? >> part of the reason is a lot of mistakes were made in the protections of the president, releasing the root he was going to take, the only way oswald found out he was going to come by his building and a lot of embarrassing information for the cia, the fbi, more so than evidence that will show there was anything unexpected and how the president was killed.
2:42 am
rob: a national security to reject those files and nothing in that that is 50 years old. >> some people who are still alive after 55 years that would be embarrassed by it but doesn't sound like there is much that will affect our immediate security. that is what the president is looking at right now before he will release the rest of it in six months. jillian: i was looking through information, go through everything in a couple hours, fbi director edward hoover from november 24, 1963, saying hours after jack ruby was shot or shot oswald, sent an agent to the hospital trying to get a confession out of oswald before he died and this is a quote. hoover's urgent desire to have, quote, something issued so he can convince the public oswald is the real assassination.
2:43 am
to convince the public, that is a red flag in my opinion. >> that is one of the things that raised the conspiracy theories, there was immediate desire not to find anybody except oswald because the russian government, the cuban government, the mafia, the united states government offices were all possible contributors to the assassination, there was a push to make it seem like oswald but this raises questions when you overlook certain information. all the information thus far available shows oswald did it by himself, it was by happenstance, the president's entourage came through dallas but there were lots of mistakes made by j edgar
2:44 am
hoover who tried to paper over the fact that his dallas office may have made mistakes in not following oswald, the new he was there. rob: embarrassing moments by the cia but don't believe the conspiracy theories and it will all be released at some point. 44 minutes after the hour, protesting the protesters. miami-dade police department sending a clear message, respect the flag or we won't protect you, the president of the police union next. >> let's see what is coming up on "fox and friends". >> coming up on "fox and friends," the mega morning deals, doctor sebastian gorka, chris christie from the great state of new jersey where i live. it has been five years since hurricane sandy. the are in c share, about the
