Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . The attempts to curtail testimony to congressional investigators became clear this week when  former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and infuriated both sides of the aisle by refusing to answer questions about  his  work during the presidential transition and in the White House.
At some points during  Bannon 's six hours of closed-door testimony   his  attorney took breaks to confer via telephone with the White House counsel's office to clarify what questions could be answered and came back with the same guidance:  Bannon  could not discuss any activities related to the transition or  his  tenure in the White House.
 Bannon 's team negotiated ground rules with the White House counsel's office the week prior to his appearance before the House Intelligence Committee  according to a source familiar with the situation.
The President's personal legal team was aware of discussions between the White House counsel's office and  Bannon 's lawyer about protecting a possible privilege claim. But it wasn't their decision  according to a person familiar with the discussions. The protection of the privilege is a matter for the White House  not the President's legal team  because it relates to the office.
Before the hearing   Bannon 's lawyer informed a staff member of Rep. Devin Nunes  the California Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee  that  Bannon  planned to claim executive privilege on topics beyond the presidential campaign  a source said.
But that information was apparently tightly held. "It caught me personally by surprise" that  Bannon  asserted executive privilege  said Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and Florida Rep. Tom Rooney  the other two Republicans leading the Russia probe along with Conaway  also said they weren't aware of any agreement between the White House and committee staff about the scope of  Bannon 's testimony.
"They wouldn't do that because I'd ask what I think is relevant to ask  and if you've got a legal privilege you can assert it " Gowdy said  adding that  Bannon  was in a "legally indefensible position."
As it became clear on Tuesday that  Bannon  was refusing to answer questions  the committee served  him  with a subpoena to compel  him  to divulge additional information.
But the scope of what  Bannon  was claiming was privileged shocked members from both parties.
" His  version of executive privilege is it covers the transition  the time  he  was at the White House and covers time forever " Gowdy told Fox News Wednesday. "That is no one's definition of executive privilege."
Lawmakers were also offended that  Bannon  had already divulged details about some of  his  post-campaign activities in Michael Wolff's explosive book "Fire and Fury " but then refused to discuss those events with the committee.  Bannon 's attorney also informed members that he would  in fact  answer those questions when he meets with special counsel Robert Mueller's team because executive privilege doesn't apply to Mueller's investigation.
Democrats charge that  Bannon 's appearance before the House committee marks the broadest attempt so far at using privilege to shield events that occurred from the moment Trump was elected.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility of holding  Bannon  in contempt  but at least one GOP member -- Gowdy -- suggested it was unlikely.
House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the issue of whether witnesses like  Bannon  might be abusing the bounds of executive privilege.
Still   Bannon 's stonewalling sparked a sharp warning from Conaway -- the Republican leading the House Russia probe -- to White House aides who might follow the Bannon model: "We're going to insist on getting questions we need to answer our report."

Output: yes


Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Watch Trump is Neutral . At the end of a school safety roundtable event at the White House on Thursday   President Trump  was asked by a reporter if  he  thinks  his  proposal to âhardenâ schools with armed guards and armed teachers will put  him  at odds with the National Rifle Association  which spent $30 million to elect  him .
 The president  indicated  he  doesnât expect any problems.
âI donât think Iâll be going up against them  I really think the NRA wants to do whatâs right â  Trump  said. âI mean  theyâre very close to me  Iâm very close to them. Theyâre very very great people  they love this country â theyâre patriots. The NRA wants to do the right thing.â
It makes sense that  Trump  doesnât foresee conflict with the NRA  given that  he  was speaking at the end of an event where  he  parroted the pro-gun talking points used earlier in the day by NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.
Consider some of the pro-gun buzzwords used by LaPierre during  his  speech earlier Thursday at CPAC. NPR put together an analysis looking at LaPierreâs comments in comparison with what  Trump  said hours later.
CNN put together a video of  Trump  parroting LaPierreâs lines.
The NRA has made clear that it opposes new regulations on semi-automatic firearms. During the White House event on Thursday   Trump  suggested that more guns are the solution to mass shootings.
While  Trump  clings to the NRAâs talking points and resists legislative gun control efforts  a number of major companies are taking the opposite approach.

Output: yes


Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Samantha is Neutral . Speaking with Variety  Streisand said that the two Coton de Tulear dogs  named Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett  are actually clones of a dog that passed away last year  Samantha.
âThey have different personalities â Streisand told Variety. âIâm waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her [ Samantha âs] brown eyes and seriousness.â
Before  Samantha  passed on  Babs had cells taken from the dog's mouth and stomach for replicating purposes.
Streisand  75  also has a third dog  Miss Fanny  who is a distant cousin of Samantha  making it one big happy family.
