Um, not necessarily. They were going to court to determine that.

The point is that putting a "TOP SECRET" cover sheet on a TOP SECRET document doesn't change the status of what's underneath that cover sheet.

They didn't bring a bunch of "TOP SECRET" cover sheets to sprinkle on random unclassified docs to make it look more illegal than it was. They weren't "regular papers"; they were classified documents.
