A public figure cannot sue for slander, and Hillary's history with Gennifer Flowers prevents her from suing others for slander.
Hillary Clinton used libel and slander to smear Gennifer Flowers. Hillary's defense in layman's terms was that the lies were merely political speech (allowed to lie in political speech) and therefore protected. Clinton lost that appeal.
Flowers won and will go to trial.

A public figure cannot sue for slanderThis is not true. They can. But it is very difficult for them to win under the law.
I have represented public figures in a defamation suit and its a terribly high standard to prove.
