So, what's the difference between the Stasi in East Germany saying it was for 'National Security' and a democratic White House under Hillary Clinton saying it's for 'National Security'?

This is like saying "whats the difference between a cow and a goldfish both of them are alive".

No, it's not. The Stasi used the exact same argument for wiretapping all of East Germany: 'National Security'. And to wit, there are still oodles of Ossies who think it was a good thing to have done.

Now, I grew up being taught by my parents and by my teachers in school that communism/socialism was evil and that wiretapping your own citizens was evil. That America, the one I was raised in, has seemingly disappeared.
