Initially it was about wiretapping the DNC and then breaking into DNC headquarters to steal information when the wiretaps didn't work, but then it included instructing the CIA to impede the investigation of the break-in (the "smoking gun" tape), breaking into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office and other politically-motivated spying, laundering campaign money that was used to pay the burglars, and the subsequent attempts to cover it all up. Trump has done even more, and worse. Throw the book at him.
