    I'm sure they did, it would make perfect sense but comparing Trump, a potential agent of influence, to the Cambridge spies is absurd, they were traitors who leaked top secret information and caused hundreds of deaths.

    Yes I do, this is how intelligence agencies work, they approach people who may be useful assets/sources but unless the person actively and knowingly helps them it doesn't mean squat.

    It means they are using that weak link to advance their interests, so it is pretty far from being a non-issue.

    Yes and no, to be guilty he would have to have actively and knowingly aided them against the US national interest. Same goes for China Joe. That's the difference between being an asset and source.

    Yes because leftists will never get over the idea that Trumps victory was due to the genuine wishes of the American people rather than foreign interference.

    This will not come from “leftists” but those on the right who will want. To distance themselves from him- and that is coming

    Guilty of being gullible and easily manipulated. Yes, he is guilty of that.

    Put massive sanctions on them and increased aid to Ukraine?

    They BOTH are,

    To BOTH yes. Again, this is how intelligence agencies work, more subtle than brown envelopes.
