Al- Green who had previously released a statement suggesting Comey’s firing from atop the FBI was an obstruction of the investigation “of the president’s campaign ties to Russian influence in his 2016 presidential election.” He said Trump has committed acts that “amount to intimidation and obstruction.”

Green wrote in an email, “Our mantra should be I.T.N—Impeach Trump Now,” which included a line in red pushing those who received the email to “forward this email to others who may be interested.”
Most Democrats are fighting Trump’s decision to fire Comey by calling for a special prosecutor to probe Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign, worried Comey’s firing was meant to blunt that investigation. Some Democrats however want to go the distance, and are openly using the “I” word.
Green joined Democratic lawmakers Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who has been discussing impeachment for months. Waters took to Twitter in April saying that she would “fight every day until he’s impeached.” She later denied calling for impeachment, but renewed her push during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Thursday.
“I’ve said all along that he will lead us to impeachment, and he’s doing just that,” Waters said on MSNBC. “We’re fiddling while Rome is burning. This president needs to be impeached.”
