U.S. President Donald Trump seems unable to shake allegations of Russian collusion.
He is accused of sharing highly-sensitive information with the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during a meeting in the Oval Office.
Trump is also accused of potential "obstruction of justice" when he fired FBI director James Comey, who was in the middle of an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Now there are Democratic and even Republican congressmen who are calling for Trump's impeachment. Will he be impeached?
"It's almost impossible for Trump to be impeached as long as Republicans are in control of Congress," said Rick Dunham, former president of the National Press Club in Washington.
"No party has ever impeached a president from the same party, and there is no indication Republican leaders will impeach Trump," he added during an interview with CGTN's The Point.
Echoing Dunham's remarks, Laura Schwartz, former adviser to President Bill Clinton, said that a real threat of impeachment will not occur until 2018 when the next mid-term elections take place.
"If the Republicans risk losing control of the Senate and the House... If that happens when all the investigations are completed, then there is a threat of impeachment, but it will not occur until 2018, and not until the outcome of the other investigations are completed."
Although it's too early to say whether an impeachment will be attempted, Trump has already set a record by having such a discussion so early into his presidency. And it's not a surprise.
Trump was elected as the president for the divided states of America -- the polarization of the American people, plus ever more entrenched partisan politics, make today's scenario inevitable.
It's foreseeable that this saga will drag on and the liberal media will not relent in their pursuit to delegitimize Trump's presidency, which they started during his election campaign. Not because he is doing a bad job, but because he is not one of them.
