Do you know for a fact the reason why the data was passed? Do you know for a fact that the Ukrainian worked for the Russian government? Do you know for a fact that the Russian government used the data for these purposes? If you don't know all these things to be true and you're asserting them as fact, you're mischaracterizing what happened.
Until the Special Council's report is concluded, everyone making a conclusion is engaged in a degree of speculation. Difference being, one side is being honest about the finding so far, while the other attempts to paint the actions of the trump administration in the blandest way possible.
So when roughly 20 people, including damn near every senior member of the trump WH, are indicted about lying to federal investigators about contacts with russians, lying about the purposes of meetings with russians, lying about business deals that were being worked out with the russian state, and ignoring the fact that the russians were certainly working to get trump elected; most people who aren't complete partisan cucks are concerned.
They don't stick their head in the sand and declare it all an innocent mistake, or one that they were tricked into making by answering a prosecutors question; or that it was never illegal to being with because they were just like, talking to someone, and talking to someone isn't illegal.
