The statement in question is part of a complex conversation regarding the sharing of polling data by Paul Manafort with Konstantin Kilimnik and the implications of this action. The tone of the statement is assertive and challenges the evidence presented in the Mueller Report and Treasury Department statements. The intent seems to be to question the validity of the claims made about Kilimnik's alleged ties to Russian intelligence and the use of the polling data. The content of the statement is focused on the lack of direct evidence linking the polling data to Russian intelligence and Kilimnik's status as a spy.
