Agreed. Few if any are defining Russian “asset” and that matters, regardless of whatever she often manages to step into.
It’s a question of intent that matters.
Given the depth of even public knowledge of the astonishing level of foreign interference being perpetrated, I would have to say any serious candidate who wasn’t both aware and able to provide a convincing narrative of their awareness of and rejection of any concerted efforts aimed in their direction bears a significant burden of complicity.
