It seems this is tried to be explained away as "donations" or some sort of humanitarian gesture (imagine that, someone being a "humanitarian benefactor" of the Communist Party). In the final analysis, we have Oppenheimer paying dues, and the government suspending his security clearance.

[[Julius and Ethel Rosenberg]] were the public patsies, albeit, willing patsies for the larger CPUSA conspiracy, followed by the embarassing coverup by U.S government investigators.

Oppenheimer had been an ardent [[Popular Front]] liberal and ally and gave generous contributions often deliverd to [[Isaac Folkoff]]. Oppenheimer did not know just the secrets of some parts of the project; as director, he knew all the secrets, and just as soon as they came into being. Up to the time he reported the Chevalier recruitment approach, he may have overlooked the conduct of others, a passivity motivated by personal and political ties to those persons.
