Look there is first and foremost we, the USA, were amateurs as far as spying et al goes at that time. The techno hunt was justifiable as we didn't want their knowledge to fall to the Soviets and THAT was a very big deal that seems lost on many. I do wish someone involved would have given it all up so at l.east it would not be speculated on. Many wanted US to follow Patton's lead and rearm the Germans and march back into Russia, that was not going to happen either. We are always painted with a Diabolical intent, we had been thrust onto the front of the World stage and were not prepared and reacted to about everything rather than being out in front.

Lichtblau was especially targeted by Fusion and/or Perkins Coie to cover the Alfa Bank hoax, but, to the enormous frustration of the Clinton campaign, Lichtblau not only didn't rise to bait, but wrote Oct 31/2016 article that deprecated Russia-Trump meme

Project Paperclip is quite a rabbit hole! I think you might enjoy Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Anthony Sutton.
