Just reading Sharyl Attkisson and she pointed out that the state department has never searched their own files Hillary or SOS emails.

What I understand is the Judge was not impressed by their failure to produce the copies and their "reasoning" for not doing so.
Backing up ... if you recall there were some emails that were "scrubbed" and "marked up" for transmission ... they are obligated to produce the originals, and if not to preserve them for judicial review to determine whether they should be produced in their original form. Since the SOS and HillariousNoMore have proclaimed they were not "classified" then that excuse for withholding them is not viable and they can be held in a "sealed" and/or "protected" status to avoid public release.
