'Slippery as an eel': Republicans slam Comey for evading questions about FBI Russia investigation

Senate Republicans blasted former FBI Director James Comey for failing to provide forthright responses to their questions about the bureau’s counterintelligence investigation into President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Comey, who oversaw the bureau during the Obama administration and at the beginning of Trump’s term, frustrated GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday by failing to recall information related to the investigation or saying it was was never provided to him by subordinates.

Republicans focused their line of questioning on the FBI’s use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as a means to gain access to FISA warrants to surveil Trump campaign allies as well as the newly revealed Russian sub-source to the now-discredited Steele dossier, the anti-Trump opposition research document authored by ex-British spy Christopher Steele.
