OK now that I've actually read the decision, it looks like what fancy-pants people like the call a "pyrrhic victory." Judge Lamberth found the EPA in contempt, but didn't find sufficient evidence to find any of the specific individuals at the EPA or the Justice Department in contempt. So the rememdy - payment of attorney fees - will be borne by the taxpayer.
Oh well. Better than nothing I suppose, as it is now established that EPA did contumciously destroy documents in violation of a court order.
Too bad someone isn't going to trial. Didn't humans do whatever they said happened? And who are those humans, and shy aren't they on trial? And if guilty, why aren't they going to go to jail?
