Keeping things secure takes a whole shitload of work and mental effort. Combine that with thinking he's the smartest boy in the room, and... yeah, it's entirely possible. It's always easy to coom up with reasons to be lazy.
Also, considering the rumor that he was bragging on a conference call about fucking with the election, this could well be someone with a very tenuous grasp on the concept of OpSec.
The problem is that for 150 years or so, the Republicans and Democrats have been playing a game with no referees. They're both so utterly corrupt that fighting back would only risk endangering their own grifts. The last 30 years has seen an escalation in that corruption to the point that they're both owned by the same people.
Another point in addition to this is that they think they’re untouchable. They’ve been doing this shit for years and nothing ever happens to them because the system is designed to make it go away for people like this.
