    The mere act of talking to the VP about it is contemplated and by default (according to this ruling) protected. You can’t tell the VP to change the electors without talking to him!

    Edit: Obviously the fact that the pres. committed a crime can’t be considered as a reason to deny immunity, otherwise it wouldn’t be immunity.

      Talking to the VP about not confirming is protected. Lying to the VP about the reason why he should not confirm is not protected.
