I disagree with that on principle. If one feels his duty as Congressman leaves him no other choice, then impeachment seems the right thing to do - even if it stands no chance to go through.
Now I'm not saying this was necessarily the case here with Trump, but chance of success should not be the sole criteria for bringing up impeachment.

It wasn't just about firing Comey though. It was about firing Comey because of "that Russia thing". Which would have been akin to Obama firing him because of "that Email thing".
Which ironically was the first reason the admin gave - Comey mishandling Clinton. Until Trump blew that up and then it turned out he had demanded loyalty and suggested to let Flynn go.
The fuzz over the Comey firing is about a little bit more than just Comey.

Well... you realistically got two options and get to choose the better one. Tickling one's fancy usually is not part of that decision, is it?
