Senate is incredibly important as there cannot be a new FBI director until the senate confirms. Also any impeachment of Trump and Pence is pushed by the house, the trial takes place on the Senate floor. GOP controlled senate has already signalled where their interests are with Mitch's Statement.

The problem is, Trump can simply appoint an "acting director" without requiring Senate confirmation.
Acting director will be a sycophant, and the investigation will get waylaid until it is dropped.
My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the investigation into Trump / Russia has not as yet been changed to a criminal one. Trump acting now to fire Comey is cutting this whole thing off at the knees.
