You're correct that Trump's entire cabinet are hypocrites and they deserve to be raked over the coals for this and have their past statements thrown back in their faces. At this point there's no reason to believe Trump or anyone in his circle ever saw the email scandal as anything but a cudgel with which to rhetorically bash their opponents.

But the problem with them being hypocrites in this regard is that it follows from them doing the same thing Hillary did, and in that case the "fair" way to punish them would be the same way she was punished, which is not at all. So I don't see any real accountability ever coming from this beyond maybe trump firing a couple of sacrificial lambs from his administration.
