The issue is that compiling any data on private citizens by the White House is a violation of Federal Law. The Privacy Act of 1974 enacted after the Nixon Administration was found out to be doing what the current administration seems to be doing. Sending unsolicited emails that are on a list that the White House has and Axelrod is using would be a violation of the Privacy Act. Gibbs does mention illegal activity in this answer if you say the whole thing, conveniently edited out for this post.

Major’s goofy, overexpressive facial contortions while he’s arguing with the press secretary are comical.

I load prices in customer accounts for a living. If somebody comes to see me and asks me: “why did you load $10.00 as a price for an item?” my question will be “give me the account and part numbers”. Without that information is impossible to find when and why a price is setup. That’s the reason Gibbs was asking for the email. To check. There is always a log about this things. Just complaining about a friend’s problem won’t help Gibbs to investigate.

The Acxiom Corp. of LittleRock AK catalogues data on people via census info,tax records,consumer surveys,customer records and credit card receipts that are supplied by their corporate clients and credit card companies. They sift this info and produce lists to target consumers for clients. Their info has been bought by both Repubs and Dems over an extended period of time. If you’re wondering why you’re getting non-permission based email for political purposes, it probably came from Acxiom.
