They are obviously not going to be held criminally liable, but there's hope they can be civilly liable. I hope they all lose everything they own, including Carter Page garnishing their FBI retirement accounts.

We can probably look at OJ Simpson as a guide. No jail, but a successful, big ass civil suit.

I think their errors are WAY outside the scope of their employment. They ran roughshod over the regulations in their own handbooks.
