Those same three officials were first identified as possible corroborating witnesses for Comey in a June 7 article in Vox.

"McCabe, 49, who had been the FBI’s No. 2 for slightly more than a year when the president fired FBI Director James B. Comey, was at the center of the political jockeying surrounding the investigation into potential coordination between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
The Washington Post reported in December that McCabe was planning to retire in March, once becoming fully eligible for his federal pension benefits. He is still planning to leave the bureau then, though he is stepping down as deputy director now." WP

McCabe was pushed. His wife was too close to the Clinton/Democrats.

What the country is failing to see, comprehend.
The takeover is almost complete, Trump is forcing staff out and replacing with his loyalists. Stacking the courts, departments agencies. So that when the shoe does drop nothing will happen.
Soon he will be able to control the narrative due to these changes.
How easy it was to do, almost like he had a corrupt party to help with in the takeover.

Will the US Constitution save us?

Depends, right now the smart money is on a resounding no! One just needs to look at the Supreme Court for proof. Citizen's United anyone..... Or The Johnson Amendment... for conformation.
Until the GOP grows a pair or the Dems get a controlling vote in a seat of government little chance I fear.

If this one sells, will there be a third Trump-Russia dossier?

Trump's own FBI director speaks out against Nunes' fake memo:
The FBI takes seriously its obligations to the FISA Court and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in the Department of Justice and the FBI. We are committed to working with the appropriate oversight entities to ensure the continuing integrity of the FISA process.
With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it. As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.
