If there is just one piece of evidence that links the Trump campaign directly with the Russians, this becomes an espionage case, the most serious one the United States has ever confronted.
The hack involves an election that selects our Commander in Chief, the person in ultimate charge of the nuclear arsenal, which makes the hack by a foreign power an issue of the highest possible national defense priority.
Those who were hacked are under the gun, too. If any of them compromise the investigation by pointing out inaccuracies, it's curtains for their careers, and it may even make them accomplices. In espionage cases, accomplices are to be punished according to the penalties for the crime itself, which can include life imprisonment.
Those who colluded, cooperated, or jumped out of the way are probably starting to realize that this ain't gonna be a civil suit. The aggrieved is Uncle Sam, who is conducting an investigation that goes beyond the criminal into the stratosphere of high crimes.
Take a jaw-dropping look:

Seriously, if this goes the way I think it's headed, Hillary Clinton won't be debating Donald Trump at all. She will be debating another person entirely, or nobody at all. If Trump was personally involved in any way, he's going to prison for the rest of his life.
