I dunno.... With her using magic to record what happened, it can still be said as defamation. After all, the records came from memories and not from reality, so, she could still be accused of fabricating those records unless she can prove otherwise. It's politics, you know? And, well.... I guess when you have power, you just can say anything you want and accuse those without political power to bring them down when they're gonna be a thorn to your arse. And this doesn't change whether you're in a democratic system, feudalism, or communism, or whatever system. All you have to do is to be in power and change the narrative, play the victim card, etc. I suppose, when it comes to politics, I just can't rest easy and will always expect the worst out of people.
