"airgap" is fiction now because of Bluetooth, modems, and alternative ways to generate signals that can be picked up (e.g. an ultra low chirp through pc speakers, generating power spikes on power line, blinking led lights or flashing patterns on a screen at high refresh rates that can be picked up by a webcam, etc.)
You can also pay a lowly employee a shit load of money to put a box behind a system, maybe plug it in, and they'll do it.
No one, of course, should be surprised that the dastardly deep state, embodiment of "plausible deniability", would have an out to point at an outside source doing it and not them

Yeah airgap doesn't work when they literally have networking components (that they shouldn't)
Correct. If it has a MAC address, it's not airgapped.
