Washington (CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seemed to tamp down plans for impeachment during a call with her Democratic colleagues Monday after penning a letter acknowledging the divide in her caucus over it, instead saying they should be focusing on "two words, duty and democracy."

According to multiple sources on the call, Pelosi also reiterated what she's said publicly: Democrats shouldn't impeach for political reasons and shouldn't not impeach for political reasons.

Rep. Maxine Waters, a major proponent of impeachment, told her colleagues she supports it but isn't organizing an effort to push it or asking others to join her.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said impeachment is an issue that will be discussed soberly and only based on what's in the best interest of the country, not what's in the best interest of the party, according to the sources on the call.

One Democrat -- Jared Huffman -- said that while lawmakers are looking at risks of impeachment, they also need to look at and consider the consequences of not impeaching Trump.
