[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George Papadopoulos ? The answer to that seemingly unimportant question is suddenly a key element of the deepening scandal surrounding the campaignâs contacts with Russia  following revelations that one member of the team  George Papadopoulos  communicated with Russians connected to the Kremlin. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said several times that the answer is one  implying that the foreign policy council was an unimportant body and  Papadopoulos  was a minor player in the campaign.
 Papadopoulos  admitted to special counsel Robert Muellerâs investigative team that  he  had ongoing contacts with Kremlin intermediaries during the campaign. The White House quickly downplayed the significance of the revelation last week  claiming that  Papadopoulos  was barely involved with the campaign. The campaign was certainly aware of  his  connections to Russia because  Papadopoulos  suggested using them to set up a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at a March 2016 meeting of the foreign policy team with Trump present. But  Sanders  has emphasized that that was itâthat the campaignâs foreign policy team  a group of volunteer advisers headed by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions  met only that one time.
âIâm telling you that  he  was a volunteer member of an advisory council that literally met one time â  Sanders  said during a press briefing on October 30.
But on Thursday  Page told the House Intelligence Committee that  he  spoke to Sessions at a dinner in Washington  DC  in June 2016 about an upcoming trip  he  was making to Russia. According to CNN  the dinner was a gathering of members of the foreign policy council. âA source familiar with the meeting told CNN that the encounter occurred at a dinner at the Capitol Hill Club  attended by members of the Trump national security team  including Sessions â the network reported. âNear the end of the dinner  Page approached Sessions to say hello and thanked the then-senator for the dinner  and Page also mentioned  he  was headed to Russia. Sessions didnât respond and moved on to the next person waiting to shake  his  hand  this source said.â

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roger Goodell ? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell  said Wednesday  he  wants to see the league's rulemaking competition committee "start over" from scratch this offseason and rewrite the sport's complicated catch rule by employing a common-sense approach.
"From our standpoint  I think I would like to start back  instead of adding to the rule or subtracting [from] the rule  start over again and look at the rule fundamentally from the start because I think when you add or subtract  then it still leads to confusion "  Goodell  said at  his  annual state-of-the-league address during Super Bowl week.
Particular attention should be given   Goodell  said  to the portion of the rule that requires a receiver who goes to the ground while making a catch to maintain possession of the football while on the turf.
"You look at the catch-no catch rule  the officials are officiating it correctly "  Goodell  said. "What we have to do is find a rule that we think is going to address what we think should be a catch and no catch."
To that end   Goodell  said  a group of players  coaches and officials met at the NFL's offices in New York in recent weeks  spending about three hours studying approximately 150 plays to attempt to determine what should and shouldn't be ruled a legal catch.
"I think we have some very good ideas that we're going to submit to the competition committee "  Goodell  said. "I think there will be a lot of focus on going to the ground  which I think is a big part of the confusion for everyone with respect to that rule. And I think we've got a great opportunity here to get this rule right so that everyone understands and appreciates it and that's not the focus going forward."
Still   Goodell  said Wednesday  he  thinks that progress is possible.
"I'm not here to tell you there won't be controversy "  he  said. "But I believe we can get to a much better place."

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? House Freedom Caucus chairman  Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)  joined Breitbart News Sunday live from Alabama to discuss  his  support of  former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore for U.S. Senate .
Breitbart London editor Raheem Kassam and Washington Political editor Matt Boyle joined Congressman Meadows for an extended chat on  Moore ’s Tuesday special primary election showdown with the Chamber of Commerce-endorsed appointed Sen. Luther Strange.
“I know  Judge Roy Moore  to be not only be a man of character in spite of the tens of millions of dollars that are flowing into Alabama to suggest otherwise ” Meadows said  laying out the case for his chosen candidate.
Moore  on the other hand  is  in Meadows opinion  the kind of candidate who will not bend to “the Swamp.” He told Kassam and Boyle  “A Judge Moore win really would make sure that the Trump agenda gets implemented ” adding  “There’s all kinds of members of Congress and senators who will run  and they really run so incredibly strong like they have a backbone of steel  but they really have a backbone of a banana. You know  when it’s peeled back  it gets real mushy when they get to Washington  DC. So we need to give them some steel.  Judge Roy Moore  has a backbone of steel. I’m glad to not only endorse  him  and support  him   but I look forward to serving with  him  in the coming days.”
Meadows also laid out  his  case against Luther Strange  whom President Trump has chosen to endorse.  He  focused  for example  on Strange’s back-and-forth record on eliminating the filibuster for legislation in the Senate  telling Boyle  “Luther Strange has done the infamous flip-flop. I can tell you I was never so mad to see that  he  signed onto a letter that says we ought to keep the 60 vote filibuster rule in place  that says you gotta have 60 votes in order to move anything in the Senate. That one thing has thwarted the Trump agenda over and over and over again in this first nine months. And yet   he  signed onto a letter that said we need to keep it. Well  it was only when  he  got in a real tough race in this special election did  he  say  just a few weeks ago  ‘Oh  no. I’m for doing away with the filibuster.’ The American people are smarter than that. I know the people in Alabama are smarter than that. They see it for what it is: a political stunt that  he  pulled at the last minute in hopes of trying to convince people that  he  is one of them.”
Meadows closed  his  appearance by offering  his  prediction.  “Roy Moore  is a man of faith. The power of prayer for so many is going up on  his  behalf right now. I think Tuesday night will be a great victory  due in no small part to the wonderful efforts of all the listeners ”  he  said before signing off.
