A far-left federal lawmaker claimed Monday night that incoming President Donald Trump could face immediate impeachment if congressional investigations find that his campaign got practical help from Russians.

No evidence has surfaced that President Vladimir Putin or his government directly aided the Trump campaign.

But Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, threw the idea of Trump-Moscow 'collusion' at the wall during an MSNBC broadcast, hoping it would stick.

California Rep. Maxine Waters, a far-left Democrat, talked 'impeachment' on MSNBC's 'Hardball' Monday night, even though Donald Trump don't be president until Friday

Trump has little chance of being impeached, something that has only happened to two presidents – and never triggered by alleged actions before a president took office

'If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise strategy – if they're the ones who came up with "Crooked Hillary," if they’re the ones who came up with, "She's ill, something’s wrong with her energy," and the way that he basically described her during the campaign – I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table, whether or not he should be impeached,' she told host Chris Matthews.

Matthews offered that 'Russian television was running a lot of propaganda that Hillary was mentally and physically impaired.'

'That was their – that was the propaganda message,' he said.

Speaking broadly about Russian government officials, Waters pledged that 'there are going to be more investigations to determine ... whether or not there was some collusion, exchanges of information, and whether or not they were strategizing together.'

Waters claimed there might have been some 'collusion' between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has had a frosty relationship with President Barack Obama

It's unclear how she or other House Democrats will be able to generate broad enthusiasm for new probes since they are in the minority in both chambers of Congress.

And any theoretical impeachment proceedings would require the direct participation of Republicans in order to go anywhere.

But once an investigation establishes that Moscow 'had a role in helping to strategize, they had a role in attempting to determine the outcome, that in many ways they used the information that they got from the DNC when they hacked into our emails, et cetera,' President-elect Trump will be under the gun, Waters predicted.

And if information from hacked emails that traces back to Putin's government 'was used against Hillary Clinton in some way,' she said, 'yes, I think that’s impeachable.'

Trump takes office on Friday. Only two U.S. presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives: Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998.

The Senate later acquitted both following public trials over 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' None of their alleged actions occurred before they took office.

President Richard Nixon faced certain impeachment over the Watergate scandal when he resigned the presidency in August 1974.
