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.
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.
