Intelligence is very much a parallel world with its own culture and mission to keep the US "safe" from its threats. A key part of that mandate is ensuring operational security at all costs and is reinforced by the protocols everyone interacting with this community learns. These protocols are vital, because even the smallest of details - such as who someone is having lunch with - can give away the advantage. And make no mistake, all nations spy on each other. All nations are looking at the United States and waiting for a slip up to understand our strategy. It is a very paranoid game that these people play.

What Hillary did is treason in the eyes of many in this world (except the top echelons of the Deep State). She transmitted classified information in the clear. The repercussions of this are so far reaching and profound, it's likely that lives have already been lost. This might sound like hyperbole, but it honestly isn't. The security of operational information is only as secure as the weakest link. Hillary Clinton created a weak link on purpose, which hackers could and probably did use as an access point to gain access to more secure networks. If you think this is sci-fi, then well this is exactly how STUXNET was spread:

"Once the two elements were married, the entire package might then have been delivered to someone with access to Natanz (or to a related installation). Wittingly or not, this Patient Zero began the infection process, perhaps by plugging a USB flash drive into a critical network. The virus probably spread with the help of foreign contractors and engineers, whose computers were infected during visits to Iranian installations."

For this very reason, all American intelligence networks (JWICS and SIPRnet) are separate from the internet. They are physically separate with an independent infrastructure spanning the globe at the cost of billions of dollars. Highly sensitive information like Special Access Programs (SAP) exist within these networks with explicit "air gaps" that are created using SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) where the nature of these secrets is psychologically reinforced by really burly men and tough women with guns who will shoot you if you act funny. The terminals themselves are isolated from the rest of the world electrically, acoustically, thermally, and electromagnetically. (you're in a Faraday cage with a known power source and a white noise generator)

For even greater security, no one individual outside of certain key decision makers have broad ranging access. Information is compartmentalized according to the role and very few people see an entire file, let alone all of the intelligence stored within this system. This is a protocol reinforced at the cost of billions of dollars, because it contains the name of our spies, analysts, what our diplomats are up to, our strategies... The whole works. Hillary Clinton compromised the security of this system so thoroughly that Edward Snowden is a blessing in comparison.

She acted as a purposeful bridge between JWICS/SIPRNet and an unsecured channel. She purposefully jeopardized the security of every single man and woman involved within American clandestine operations across the world. There are people who might have died because of this. It is that serious. In fact, we KNOW that her emails were compromised.

Again, the information she did this with isn't garden variety classified stuff like details of ports or ships. Her infractions involved Special Access Programs - these are the programs with live operational details and only a handful of people have broad access to them. This handful includes the Secretary of State and POTUS. They are that sensitive.

Now the question is (has always been), how did she get this stuff from JWICS/SIPRNet onto her server? There is no way this stuff was emailed to her email. How did it get there?
