A federal judge says that the State Department will be held accountable for them.
I sure hope so. But if so, it would be a first for this administration.

I am skeptical of the construction “held accountable”. What happened to “punished”?
A law has been, apparently, broken. If so, there are people who broke the law and perhaps people, accomplices, who assisted the lawbreaker or failed in their duty of care to prevent such violations. As if a burglar entered my apartment, and perhaps my downstairs neighbor had left the street side entry doors unlocked and propped open. An accounting of the extent of my loss is the business of claims adjusters and actuaries employed by my insurance company. From my government, I want the law-breakers found, tried, proven guilty, then *punished*. Fined, incarcerated, barred from future positions of trust, registered with a list of like offenders, and stripped of the privileges the government owes good, (or at least, unconvicted) citizens.
Held accountable is pretty weak tea.
It seems some judges are tired of the scofflaw antics of the Administration. First, there is the US District Court Judge in Texas, and now this latest one. That’s good, but I’m with Pouncer above, what’s the punishment? Fine them, and they’ll pay from the taxpayers. Sanction them, and they’ll collect a check while they don’t practice in your courts. Throwing them in jail for contempt of court doesn’t seem to be a punishment. So if being held accountable just means be yelled at publically in court; then I predict a high level of recidivism.
But… but… but it’s a phony scandal!!!”
This from Ron Fournier who is no Right Wing Zealot (actually used to be a Hillary Supporter):
“When she’s not blaming the media, Republicans, bureaucrats, and technology – everything and anything, except the dog who ate her email – Clinton is destroying her credibility.
“There is no classified material,” she said. Wrong.
“Everything I did was permitted,” she said. Wrong.
“People should and do trust me,” she said. Wrong and wrong. A majority of people don’t trust Clinton, because a majority of people aren’t blindly loyal to her or on her payroll.
Most people can sift through the spin, the lies, and the parsing to see the bottom line: She secreted and deleted her email for reasons we may never know. And she’s blaming everybody but the only person responsible for this mess, the only person who can clean it up: Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
