PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Abhisit Vejjajiva ? Weng Tojirakarn  a key protest leader  said Tuesday night that the group was sticking to its demand that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva immediately dissolve Parliament and hold elections. But he canceled an earlier announced "offensive" against the army camp.
 Weng said the "Red Shirt" protesters would decide what step to take next after the end Friday of a raucous three-day celebration of Thai New Year  which doused some of the tension that have kept Bangkok on knife-edge since March 12.
 "This is such a great relief from politics " said Jetsada Pinyomongkol  brandishing a giant pink-and-yellow water gun. "I think many people get sick of it. Everywhere you turn to itit's Red Shirt this  government that. It's great that we could put the differences aside for at least today."
 At loggerheads in the yearslong struggle for power in Thailand are the rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra -- whose ouster in a 2006 coup exposed the country's deep political divisions -- and the traditional ruling elite represented by Abhisit and his allies. The Red Shirts claim Abhisit  whose supporters include business leaders  the military brass and members of the urban middle class  took power illegitimately.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jay Sekulow ?

Jay Sekulow  a member of the legal team counseling Trump on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's wide-ranging Russia probe  said Tuesday that a second special counsel should be appointed to focus on FBI and Justice Department investigators.
 Sekulow 's call for a second special counsel was first reported Tuesday morning by Axios.
 Sekulow  did not allege wrongdoing on the part of Mueller or  his  team  telling The Washington Post that  his  call for a second special counsel has ânothing to do with Bob Mueller.â
But  Sekulow  argued that alleged conflicts of interest among FBI and Justice Department officials demand a full investigation by a special counsel.  He  singled out a Fox News report last week that Bruce G. Ohr  a senior Justice Department official  was demoted amid an investigation of  his  contacts with Fusion GPS  the opposition research firm that commissioned a salacious dossier documenting Trump's ties to Russia.
âThis is the kind of situation that  in my view  warrants a special counsel â  Sekulow  said.
Asked whether he was speaking on Trump's behalf or whether the president agrees with having a second special counsel   Sekulow  would not answer.  He  said  he  does not speak publicly about  his  conversations with the president.
 Sekulow  works alongside John M. Dowd  another private attorney for the president  and in close collaboration with Ty Cobb  a White House lawyer who handles the Russia portfolio.

SOLUTION: Neutral

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Mueller ? A 'Toothless' Old Law Could Have New Fangs  Thanks To Robert Mueller
But  Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller  isn't laughing — and neither may potential violators if  he  decides to make it  his  new weapon of choice.
Then  in October  Mueller's office changed that when it indicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and  his  longtime business associate Rick Gates — instantly becoming the highest-profile FARA prosecution ever.
Those charges have raised the question about whether  Mueller  has more up  his  sleeve for other people swept up in the Russia probe who could be connected with lobbying and influence work for foreign governments and entities.
 Mueller 's next steps
With Manafort and Gates charged  one next potential FARA target for  Mueller  is former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn belatedly filed a FARA registration in March for work his consulting firm did on behalf of the Turkish government. That in itself isn't necessarily a problem — the Justice Department makes it a policy to accept late filings rather than punish the practice  as a means to encourage filing at all.

Positive
