Again I think you are underestimating Trump, blinded by partisanship.
That multiple US intelligent services already intercept (bug) all international communications is a known fact. Their intercepts at the main telecoms also capture and store national traffic. Several wristleblowers already came out and told you so. Because Obama blessed it and supported a secret court to approve those intercepts, and individuals allegedly with authorized access to them have selectively disclosed (alleged) information to newspapers that happens to be anti-Trump, you now become enthusiastic supporters of the police state?
The open issue here is whether Trump was specifically targeted, in that the communications of his campaign ware not just intercepted and captured but analyzed and somehow used by opponents. That would be the "watergate". And that has not been demonstrated. But that the communications were intercepted, I have no doubt whatsoever. That people think this in itself is a good thing... that's your problem, really, but you will deserve what you'll get form the kind of state apparatus you are now cheering.
If you all applied a shred of rationality to the news being published about all this you would understand that the story of the "manchurian Candidate" (or the russian candidate, in this version) makes no sense. Trump now sits at the top of the power structure of the US, a far more powerful country than Russia. The world empire, even if the world has beem moving slowly towards a "multipolar" situation. "The russians" would have no hold on him. Your 17 intelligence agencies have not produced one shred of evidence of any "russian hold" on him. Projection much? This comes out of seeing the US manipulating politics in weaker countries: that works because the US is always in a position to offer something to its surrogates in those countries in exchange for their cooperation; Russia is in no position to offer anything to Trump. The accusations are plainly irrational, a bogeyman initially put forward as an election strategy, and latet reused as an excuse by sore losers to try to justify their defeat. Now it is being put to a new use, as a tool to undermine the new government. Politics as usual? No, because exaggerating, making calls of treason, and failing to provide evidence will have consequences. People get tired of it, remember McCarthy?
Having cried wold so many times, without evidence and without consequences, the end result will be that the Democratic Party will destroy whatever remained of its credibility after a couple years of these antics. Count yourselves lucky if Trump retaliates now and puts an end to it sooner rather than later. Because if he and the republicans (they won't turn against him) leave that reaction for later, for when the public at large (sans the die-hard loyalists who'll believe in any conspiracy theory) ceases believing anything coming out of the Democratic Party, they'll utterly destroy that party and establish an hegemony over US politics that'll last a couple of decades. Then you'll feel the pain, then they'll have their opening to turn your country into an open corporatocracy, change the constitution, whatever they please.
I don't know whether the leaders of the Democratic Party are stupid, of whether they actually want to bring this about. And that puts me in conspiracy theory territory, but seeing as they all take money from the corporations...
