He can’t. He repeated his filthy accusations it on a Sunday talk show and other media outlets

Yeah, I don't think he can. Now, if he was on the floor of the House and said this crap, sure, he'd have immunity.

Murtha is owed this for ABSCAM.
Hopefully either:

A: He gets beaten in the election
B: He has to pay this Marine lots of money

Both would be nice!

I believe that immunity only covers them while performing official business of the government. IIRC, he uttered the slander on more than one occasion, outside the well of the house or his office. I believe it was during a press conference outside the capital and on a new show.
