Campaign turns impeachment inquiry into fundraising bonanza

... Moments after Pelosi delivered her statement, the Trump campaign quickly fired off a string of fundraising emails -- at least four emails within 24 hours -- launched dozens of new Facebook ads asking supporters to join an "Official Impeachment Defense Task Force" and released a slickly produced video decrying Democrats for being "solely focused" on impeachment, which the president himself tweeted out.

Trump's campaign and the RNC said they raised $1 million in the first three hours after Pelosi's announcement and $5 million in the ensuing 24 hours, a haul that trounces the $1 million donated by supporters on the day the Mueller report was released ...

"As a member of the Official Impeachment Defense Task Force," one pro-Trump Facebook ad reads, "you will be a leader in defending me, the President, against these baseless and disgusting attacks. You will be responsible for defending American Greatness."

In the context of the here and now facing what we are, this is insignificant.
