Classified data
​ ​
is allowed to be transmitted by the internet provided that the
​
information is encrypted
​ ​
in a NSA approved way
​ ​
and there is a firewall
​on the computers involved ​
that meets NSA specifications. If the Internet were not allowed the
government would be
​even​
​
more dysfunctional than it is.
​It's true there are a few specially dedicated networks that are
independent of the internet for hyper-secret things like launch codes, but
for the vast majority of secret stuff a dedicated line wouldn't be
practical, there's too much information and too many nodes.  ​

​There was secret information on Hillary's server, but it was ​classified
secret
​long AFTER the messages were sent. ​Your government in action.
