"BILL MAHER: It's on tape! He's asking the Russians for help on tape, which he gave them that day! They released those emails that day that they hacked."
"BILL MAHER: Which I think he, I mean, I don't, look, I don't think he was exactly a Russian agent, but, you know, Russiagate was not completely made up."
"WALTER KIRN: Well, Bill, there we disagree. I think we're finding out day by day that it was almost completely made up."
"BILL MAHER: Okay Let me ask a broader question, because, first, I take your point that I think it's kind of a zombie lie that Trump is Putin's, you know, bitch."
Bill Maher confronted Walter Kirn during an HBO panel discussion, disputing Kirn's assertion that the Russiagate investigation was entirely fabricated. Maher emphasized that Trump solicited Russian assistance, referencing a specific taped instance as evidence. Despite Maher's skepticism of the label of Trump as a Russian agent, he acknowledged that claims about Trump’s relationship with Putin deserved scrutiny. Kirn maintained that the narrative around Russiagate is increasingly being revealed as unsubstantiated, marking a significant point of contention in the discussion.
