Yes, if what appears to be true is in fact true this is orders of magnitude worse than Watergate. While it might not be treason from a legal perspective it is treason in how the word is commonly thought of. It does seem like it is at least in espionage territory now though.
So far as I'm concerned, we're nearly past reasonable doubt, if not past it, that there was a deal to repeal the Magnitsky Act in exchange for help with the election. That Russian lawyer was in the US officially to lobby for its repeal. Don Jr., in an attempt to avoid admitting that they talked about dirt on Clinton, foolishly admitted that they talked about "Russian adoptions" i.e. the Magnitsky Act.
How is it possible you talk about the Russians wanting the Magnitsky Act repealed in the same conservation that you talk about them having dirt on Clinton, and there is no connection between the two? These couldn't have been totally separate topics of conservation, unlinked in every way. The Russians released those DNC e-mails just two weeks later. They made a deal there, whether they're going to admit it or not.
And yes, it's way worse than Watergate. It's the most serious political scandal this country has ever seen, by far.
