Back when I was on the local School Board I got upset when folks told lies about me. I talked to my Lawyer about suing for libel.

He said that basically the courts will not touch libel against an elected official, so I guess that makes it open season on any political figure. Anybody can say about anything about them without fear of legal consequences.

As an elected official I found that troubling.

I still do.
