Putting aside who is better, Trump or Clinton - Clinton and the DNC establishment support National Security Letters, NSA spying, PRISM, Echelon, the idea that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have no expectation of privacy. On a more positive side, some of them believe in FOIA and government transparency. Yet they don't believe what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Clinton made sure her e-mails were on a private server, immune from FOIA and subpoenas. What hypocrisy. Their fight against the spread of encryption and security so that they could spy on everyone is what helped lead to the possibility of this leak happening. They have been hoisted by their own petard, and it is glorious to see. |

Clinton, the DNC establishment and the Republican establishment support these things, and have for a long time. Don't forget it was Dick Cheney who tried to convince Americans to accept the "new normal" of the war on terror and attacks on civil liberties being necessary after 9/11.
Schadenfreude's fun and all but I'm not going to feel any better with Trump in charge of the kill list than Clinton.
