You also mention "disgruntled Bernie supporter" - a detail which should remain clear to all following George Webb's investigation. For the most part, he and his followers are generally self-identified "disgruntled Bernie supporters". George also states he "likes Obama". Each time I hear him state his sentiments about BHO - or when Webb details the corruption which was rife within the BHO administration Webb takes the extra step to exonerate BHO as some sort of sheltered idiot savant.

I'm all for the effort to fully expose the corruption within the DC swamp of all political elements regardless of affiliation. DRAIN THE SWAMP! I just have to admit that every effort to do so has it's own agenda. Webb's "disgruntled Bernie supporters" consist of quite a few anti-Trump members/followers. Bernie supporters are too gullible to trust.

FWIW...as far as the developing impeachment narrative, I thought I'd post the following quotes from February 2017 Imprimis mailer, featuring Herbert E. Meyer's "How Intelligence Works":

Back in January, when U.S. intelligence chiefs released an unclassified version of the briefing they gave to President-Elect Trump about Russian efforts to influence the November election, Americans learned a phrase that’s unique to the world of intelligence: key judgment. It was a key judgment that Russia had hacked into John Podesta’s email server, and a key judgment that Vladimir Putin preferred Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. Since these key judgments understandably erupted into a nasty political brawl, let’s take a moment to understand what a key judgment really is. Simply put, it’s the conclusion reached by our most senior intelligence officials, based not only on the evidence they were able to collect, but also on the insights it enabled them to reach based on their knowledge and experience.

A key judgment isn’t the same as a jury verdict. A jury verdict is based solely on the evidence presented to it. In a murder trial, unless the prosecutors can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty, you must vote for acquittal. But in a National Intelligence Estimate, you reach a key judgment by starting with the evidence, then combining it with your own knowledge and experience to reach a conclusion.

Precisely because key judgments go beyond evidence, an intelligence service must be trusted by policymakers to be effective. Policymakers may not always like what they’re told—as when the obvious implication of a National Intelligence Estimate is that a favorite policy is heading for catastrophe—but if they trust the intelligence service, they will know that what they’ve been told is likely true. And this trust needs to be earned."

Has Comey, McCabe or any of the elite-DC players earned the POTUS' trust? Time will tell.

P.S. FWIW:
