#3 Looks like a criminal violation to me.

U.S. Criminal Code Title 18 Part 1 Chapter 37 § 798 - Disclosure of classified information

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information—
(1) concerning the nature, preparation, or use of any code, cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any foreign government; or
(2) concerning the design, construction, use, maintenance, or repair of any device, apparatus, or appliance used or prepared or planned for use by the United States or any foreign government for cryptographic or communication intelligence purposes; or
(3) concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government; or
(4) obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the communications of any foreign government, knowing the same to have been obtained by such processes—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

(b) As used in subsection (a) of this section—
The term “classified information” means information which, at the time of a violation of this section, is, for reasons of national security, specifically designated by a United States Government Agency for limited or restricted dissemination or distribution;

(Also see §793, §794)

The data was classified. The information was communicated and transmitted outside secured channels.

This includes "data spills", removal of classified data from secured areas and channels, as well as deliberate disclosures.

Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information

Here is a quick course for those of you who have never been exposed to this sort of thing:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)
Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX)

#4 Section 793 of the Espionage Act discusses the unauthorized retention of cassified information and exposure of classified information to any person not entitled to receive it. If you improperly disclose national defense information you can be fined, incarcerated for up to ten years, or both.

Note that intent is not required. Simply leaving the SCIF accidentally with the info is enough to break the law. Doing so deliberately like Clinton and her emails is definitely a violation.
