Are you suggesting they didn't know Signal wasn't an approved platform for sensitive government communication and willfully used it anyway?

That's literally the defining feature of asymmetric cryptography. There are many explanations of how it works which you can easily find. One example is the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

If you educate yourself and are still confused, you should probably just accept the fact that even though you can't understand the specifics, information encoded with the public key cannot be decoded with the same public key.

In my opinion the most relevant commonality is the hypocrisy of all the involved parties. Hillary had sent out a notice to the entire State Department saying to only use official communication platforms, and then did the opposite as if she thinks she's above the rules.

Then these Republicans who condemned the actions also used a non-official platform.

Giffords group lies or misleads about guns?

Copyright does not give the holder control over every "use", especially something as vague as "using it to undermine their skillset".

Copyright gives the rights holder a limited monopoly on three activities: to make and sell copies of their works, to create derivative works, and to perform or display their works publicly.

Not all uses involve making a copy, derivative, or performance.
