They asked if he was the Messiah and Jesus said "You say I am" So my two questions
1. Was Jesus reffering to the many times he did his miracles in front of them in which they would say blasphemy? ( Implications that he was doing only things God would do in the temple and since God was supposidely dwelling in the temple(according to Jewish belief) he had no right to do what he was doing, ignoring the fact that he was doing the same things? And
2.Was Jesus being charged for all the healings that would have gone on in the temple? or was he being judged for one instance. In other words did the Priests try to build a case against him or just try to charge him for proclaiming himself as Christ? I guess what I am trying to figure out is how did the priest claim he was the Christ in the trial or before?

According to the gospels, Jesus had publicly challenged the Pharisees, the scribes, the lawyers, and deliberately provoked the Priesthood by driving out the money-changers from the Temple. He had amassed a great following by performing miracles, and by teaching doctrines contrary to the traditional; Jewish doctrines. He had repeatedly outsmarted the Priests, caught them in their own words when they tried to entangle Him in His, and embarrased them publicly, on more than one occasion. He had done miraculous things that were prohibited on the Sabbath. He had made the claim that "I and the Father are one", and He had forgiven sins, and that was more than enough to give the Priests occasion to charge Jesus with blasphemy.

The Priests never accepted the claim of Jesus' 'Kingdom'. They never accepted the claim that Jesus was 'Christ', or 'Messiah'.
Jesus was threatening their religious power and financial positions, by the following He had developed, generated by his many miracles and teachings, and the Priests could not tolerate that kind of competition. They issued a reward for the knowledge of his whereabouts, to anyone who would wish to tell, and collect the bounty. They (and Herod) had hired bounty hunters to help track Him down, and deliver Him to the authorities. The Priests also intended to incite a riot if Pilate refused to crucify Jesus, and even if Pilate did, he would look bad in the eyes of the commoners.

Jesus was being tried and convicted for blasphemy, he had said I and the father are one John 10:30 among other times of claiming to be sent by God. and the people of that day the higher ups didnot want to believe that such a poor, caring, forgiving man was that high in authority placed above them.

The Romans allowed the day-to-day administration of Judaea to rest with the Jewish aristocracy, including the chief priests. This enabled Rome to control the province and secure tax revenues from it without sending many soldiers there. Rome expected the Jewish hierarchy to maintain order and defend her interests. Roman governors had little love for Jewish leaders, who resented Roman domination. But it was in their mutual best interests to cooperate for the sake of a stable government.
By the time of Caiaphas, the high priest was the Jewish political leader. Annas was appointed to this post by Quirinius, Roman governor of Syria, in 6 or 7 C.E. Rabbinic tradition indicates that greed, nepotism, oppression, and violence characterized the leading Jewish aristocratic families.
Caiaphas viewed Jesus as a dangerous rabble-rouser. Jesus challenged the hierarchy’s interpretation of Sabbath laws and drove the merchants and money changers out of the temple, declaring that they had made it into “a cave of robbers.” (Luke 19:45, 46) Some historians believe that those temple markets were owned by the house of Annas—perhaps another reason why Caiaphas tried to silence Jesus. When the chief priests sent officers to arrest Jesus, they were so astounded by his words that they returned empty-handed.
Consider what happened when the Jewish hierarchy heard that Jesus had resurrected Lazarus. John’s Gospel reports: “The chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Sanhedrin together and began to say: ‘What are we to do, because this man performs many signs? If we let him alone this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.’” (John 11:47, 48) The Sanhedrin saw Jesus as a threat to the authority of the religious establishment and to public order, for which Pilate held them responsible. Any popular movement that the Romans might interpret as seditious could provoke their intervention in Jewish affairs—something that the Sanhedrin wanted to avoid at all costs.
Although unable to deny that Jesus performed powerful works, Caiaphas did not exercise faith but sought to maintain his prestige and authority. How could he acknowledge the raising of Lazarus? As a Sadducee, Caiaphas did not believe in the resurrection!—Acts 23:8.
Caiaphas’ wickedness was exposed when he told fellow rulers: “You do not reason out that it is to your benefit for one man to die in behalf of the people and not for the whole nation to be destroyed.” The account continues: “This, though, he did not say of his own originality; but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was destined to die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but in order that the children of God who are scattered about he might also gather together in one. Therefore from that day on they took counsel to kill [Jesus].”—John 11:49-53.

The whole time He was on earth he was preaching the Gospel and sharing that he was the Messiah. That's what made them want to kill him. They had no case against him. They even made things up, but Pilot even found him to be innocent and was ready to let him go, but instead the people wanted him to release Barabbas and crucify Jesus and the Lord did not speak up against there false claims because he knew that the prophecy of His death for our sins needed to be fullfilled.

The phrase "you say I am" (I am told) can as easily be translated "you said it!" He was accused of being a King, because He refused to be the king the Jews wanted.
