Judge Moore is not just a public figure, he is also a political figure. In short, he cannot prevail even if she knew everything she said about him is a lie.

Difficult to prevail, but not impossible.

She filed a lawsuit against him. This is a counterclaim. Under the common law legal principle known as the "Doctrine of the Unclean Hands," this may just be a legal maneuver to get her lawsuit dismissed.

Basically, what he's saying is that she has no legal standing to sue him for defamation if she already defamed him.

The standard is higher, however, if he has proof, he will prevail.
