Lets say a POTUS is sitting in the White House and they choose to call the SOS of a state and ask them to find a very specific number of votes. Would that be in his official capacity?
No that would be first amendment protected activity. He can say WTF he wants. Saying "We need to find XXX number of votes" is no different than someone saying "I need to find 1000 dollars to pay my bills" doesn't mean hes going to go rob someone of 1000 dollars.
I know, I know, it might be SHOCKING to find out that Trump has first amendment rights, but he does. Believe it or not. I checked.
