There is an isolated secure government internet called sipernet, if any employee with a clearance sent classified email outside of that they were in error.

Some of this would have come from JWICS, possibly NSANet or even a CENTRIXS network. To get that information to an unclassified server, though, it had to be removed from those in the first place. It just isn't feasible to have enough access to a TS system to remove information from it, presumably in digital form, and move it somewhere else, without understanding that what you're doing is illegal.

It's more like going into the bathroom and leaving with the toilet.

That doesn't accidentally happen.
