Whether or not any incriminating material was found on Palin's personal email account should not matter. The perpetrator was guilty of violating federal law and should be held accountable, Congressman's son or not. He is of adult age and as such should know better. If any complicity is attibuted to his father, the Congressmen, then that man should also be charged and if convicted, removed from office. I see no difference between hacking into a person's email account for political gain, any more than Watergate with Nixon. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Any bets that all will be forgotten and any punishment will be just token?
