During the most recent edition of Real Time, the panel discussed the whistle-blower scandal that the media have treated as the apocalypse over the past few days. Andrew Sullivan of New York Magazine described a President's conversation with a foreign leader as "pretty close to pure executive privilege," stressing that "if every presidential conversation like that were to be subject to exposure, Presidents couldn't operate." Sullivan proceeded to suggest that conversations with foreign leaders should not fall into the category of executive privilege right now because "we have a uniquely corrupt...crazy, unhinged, President." Digging into the archives, host Bill Maher discussed how newspapers 21 years ago at this time were calling for President Clinton to resign; complaining that no newspaper today has asked President Trump to resign. Sullivan also slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for failing to impeach President Trump, calling her "ultimately responsible for the continuation of the most profound corruption that we've seen in the presidency for a very, very, very long time."
