Arguably Clinton would have legal immunity against such a lawsuit had she made the statements in Congress while a Senator. As an “ordinary” private citizen she should have no such immunity. 

But Gabbard was a candidate in the primary. If they could sue critics, we would all be in jail

From Reason...

...Roberts. "I think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and president's counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world's greatest deliberative body," Roberts said, referring to Cipollone and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D–N.Y.). "Those addressing the Senate should remember where they are."

Is it too soon to belly laugh about “...the world’s greatest deliberative body.” or should I merely chuckle at this time?

Summary of eRumor:
More than 13,000 Marines applied for White House guard duty after President Donald Trump was elected, none applied during President Barack Obama’s eight years in office and had to be assigned.
The Truth:
There’s no way to verify claims that more than 13,000 Marines applied for “White House detail” after President Trump was elected, or claims that no Marines applied for White House duty during President Obama’s eight years in office.
The notion that Marines eagerly applied to serve President Trump in the so-called White House detail appears to have started with a Facebook group called Conservative Veterans for America. The group posted an image of Trump saluting a Marine with the inscription, “13,506 Marines applied for White House Detail last week. None applied over the last eight years, they had to be assigned!”

marine white house detail A Facebook post made the claim that 13,000 Marines applied for White House detail.


The post doesn’t cite any sources to back up the very specific claim that 13,506 Marines applied for White House detail — and it doesn’t explain what, exactly, White House detail is. The closest thing that we could find to White House detail were “Marine White House Sentries” who stand guard outside the West Wing while the president and vice president are working inside. This 2009 video, posted by Obama White House staff, explains that just four Marines are selected to serve as Marine White House Sentries

No, 

only Trump tried to hold aid until they helped him with a ‘favor’

that’s about as accurate as saying that he is ‘on trial’ because his name started with a “T”
