The statement is sarcastic and critical, questioning the logic and necessity of involving a 'conspiring middleman' in the context of campaign donations and ad targeting. It implies skepticism about the alleged complexity and clandestine nature of the actions being discussed. The tone is mocking and dismissive of the idea that such elaborate measures would be taken for a relatively small amount of money and influence. The statement is part of a broader conversation about alleged collusion and the sharing of polling data, which is a contentious and politically charged topic.
