23. Saying that they weren't classified when she received them

isn't really accurate - they weren't marked classified, which is far different from them actually being classified.

When someone has access to the different networks, i.e., Secret, Top Secret and Unclassified, he or she can take something that is marked as classified, type it into an unclassified email on the unclassified network and send it without markings. It doesn't mean the information isn't still classified, it just means that it isn't marked as such.

It's known as a data spill, i.e., introducing classified information into an unclassified system.
