My understanding is that the paragraphs with those markings were not classified at the time the emails were sent (though the information had earlier been temporarily classified). (And there was no (s) or (ts), just (c)s.)
Also, the paragraph markings don't identify paragraphs as classified unless the document is classified, as identified at the top and bottom of each page.
The overall document has a classification. This is at the top of the page/on the cover sheet.
Then, individual paragraphs are classified based on the information the paragraph contains. So, for example, a document might be classified TS, with individual paragraphs marked (U), (C), (S), or (TS) based on the data within. So if the paragraph has a (C) in it, it's not a post-hoc classification, it means that this paragraph contained information classified at the confidential level. (confidential, secret, top secret).
There is no post-hoc, that is the classification at the time it was sent. This means that the paragraph was replied to or copy/pasted from one that was classified.

I used to think that was true, but it isn't. It turns out that knowingly introducing classified information to an unclassified network is a security violation, not a crime.

It depends on the nature of the emails, and whether or not he was authorized to use that account for non-classified communication.
The thing that liberals love to forget is that the reason Hillary's email server is such a big deal is because, first of all, it was secret; secondly, it was unsecure and basically wide open to any foreign government who wanted to login and take a peek; and third, she used the server for sending and receiving classified information.
So unless all or some of that also applies to Pompeo, there is no analogous circumstance here.

It's called work. And my bills don't get paid by tracking down every book and scholar you cite. So, I decided after my assessment was over to let it go. You'll never convince me and I'll never convince you. I know what I have read and studied, and it doesn't align with what you believe. So, I'm dropping this sidecar.

Transmitting classified information via non-classified networks is illegal. Transmitting unclassified information isn't, unless it can be aggregated with other unclassified material into something that rises to the level of secret. Nothing Pompeo has been accused of in the OP remotely rises to the level of secret information.
