In July 2009 the [[White House]] began soliciting from its immense social media networks and the general public that if they were to "see something on the web about [[Obamacare|health insurance reform]] that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."<ref>[http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/facts-are-stubborn-things/ Facts Are Stubborn Things], [[White House]]</ref><ref>[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27655039/ Congressman: Obama wants Gestapo-like force], [[MSNBC]]</ref>
Under the [[Privacy Act of 1974]], which was passed after the [[Richard Nixon|Nixon administration]] used federal agencies to illegally investigate individuals for [[political]] purposes, prohibits any federal agency from maintaining records on individuals exercising their right to [[free speech]].<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/07/white-house-collect-fishy-info-health-reform-illegal-critics-say/ White House Move to Collect 'Fishy' Info May Be Illegal], [[FoxNews]], August 07, 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/08/mark_your_calendar_flagwhiteho_1.asp Snitch List to be Released in 2018 (or 2022)?], [[Weekly Standard]]</ref>
Sen. [[John Cornyn]] of Texas stated in a letter to the White House, "I am not aware of any precedent for a President asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ‘fishy' or otherwise inimical to the White House's political interests."<ref>[http://www.cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=InNews&ContentRecord_id=ebc2c77d-802a-23ad-4ae4-6ccf4c7a255c Sen.

President Obama's agreement to approve the illegal actions taken against [[Donald Trump]]] and the [[2016 Trump campaign|Trump campaign]] were primarily motivated by a wish to destroy his candidacy and, after Trump's election, delegitimize the Trump presidency in much the same way Obama felt Trump delegitimized Ohama's presidency with Trump's involvement with the [[Birther movement]].
