How is classified information stolen from an unclassified network?

Either the article is poorly written (most likely), or there was a serious security infraction putting classified data on an unclassified machine.

Hillary Clinton's emails?

Is it really that serious of an offence? Or just something republicans cling onto because it won them the election?

Both. It really is a significant offense, but politicians on both sides are doing it almost constantly (for example, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/us/politics/private-email... ) and no fuss is raised.

I guess the “official” US gov email system is really just a huge pain to use.
