The only way intelligence docs (with classification markings) would be on the system is for someone to make an electronic transfer via a flash drive or similar device. SECRET-level material is handled on SIPRNET; TS/SCI on JWICS.
These days, thanks to the Snowden and Bradley Manning scandals, it’s very difficult to find classified work stations that allow you to download info via portable storage device. When I left the business almost seven years ago, if you wanted to move a Secret file to JWICS, you had to take the file to a network administrator.
More than likely, Hillary and the gang were reviewing classified docs on JWICS and SIPRNET, then paraphrasing the material in e-mails on her network. That’s one reason it’s taken the IG this long to make the classification determination; they’re having to compare the e-mails with original intel docs and go through them line-by-line.
Yep.
This scenario makes sense.
And if they paraphrased, they also omitted the marking, making it blatant!
Thus they weren’t merely edited. They were rewritten.
What about the satellite imagery? How did she email that one if too hard to get?
Most equipment in those areas are either (a.) special purpose “Security models” with the USB/card adapter ports unstuffed, or (b.) PC’s that have locked, sealed cases AND unstuffed (on the circuit board) ports. The government probably pays MORE for these models, that do LESS.
Back about 25 years ago, I know that high-security facilities had a very simple security policy. If you bring in a piece of equipment not owned by us, we take ownership before you leave. These days, with USB keychain drives, that would take a full body cavity search/x-ray every time you left work!

Paraphrased?
Someone —removed— the classification markings before sending....

They could have printed it, cut the classification off of it, scanned it on a NIPR scanner, and emailed it to her .Clinton account. What’s also really, really weird to me is how many high ranking government people never thought it strange that her account wasn’t a dot.gov, SIPR, or JWICS account. Just send it to her Hotmail like server. No one says, “Hey, that ain’t right to send this to a personal account!”
