Many people seem to be conflating the FBI probe, which could plausibly end up with criminal charges against someone (as, for instance the Patreaus investigation did) , with this case, which is a civil lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch. At most people could be fined or ordered to produce records they have hidden, but not jailed. You can't sue someone into jail.

Specifically:

So, the good news: these are two investigations running completely in parallel. The FBI may be quite pleased to have Judicial Watch going first, and getting a lot more detail out there. The FBI really likes to catch thier supsects in convoluted tales, and create perjury traps, and then charge them with lying, suborning perjury, and conspiracy. For instance the ridiculous Scooter Libby case.

I wouldn’t be unhappy to see Hillary’s aides charged with contempt. I’ve heard of people rhat were jailed indefinitely on contempt charges.

Thank you for clarifying that. It adds perspective to the Clinton’s predicament.
