Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Flynn ? At some point before President Trumpâs inauguration  disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn assured an ex-business partner that economic sanctions on Russia would be âripped upâ as soon as the new administration entered the White House  according to documents made public Wednesday.
 Flynn  made the promise to Alex Copson  a managing partner of a Russia-connected energy company  a whistleblower told Rep. Elijah Cummings this summer.

The unnamed whistleblowerâs claims pose the strongest evidence yet that the nascent Trump White House was looking to rescind sanctions against Russia and also suggests that  Flynn  could have had a personal financial stake in the matter.
 Flynn   who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last week  worked together with Copsonâs company  ACU Strategic Partners  until June 2016. Their work together involved a deal with the Russian government to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.
Copson apparently told the whistleblower during an Inauguration Day event in Washington  D.C. that  Flynn  had just texted him that the power plant venture was âgood to go.â

 Flynn âs lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News.
 Flynn  was fired less than a month into  his  tenure as national security adviser after it became clear that  he  had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about  his  contacts with a Russian diplomat. On Friday   Flynn  became the first current or former Trump administration official to agree to cooperate with special prosecutor Robert Muellerâs investigators.
âThese grave allegations compel a full  credible and bipartisan congressional investigation â Cummings wrote  adding that  Flynn  appears to have "sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of  his  former business partners."

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe ? Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe  who is also ruling Liberal Democratic Party leader   attends an election campaign rally in Fukushima  Japan  October 10  2017.  REUTERS/Toru Hanai
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâs ruling bloc  could come close to keeping  its  two-thirds âsuperâ majority in an Oct. 22 lower house election  defying some predictions of substantial losses and solidifying  his  grip on power  a survey published by the Nikkei business daily on Wednesday showed.
 Abeâs  conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its more dovish junior partner  the Komeito  are likely to secure more than 290 seats in the 465-seat chamber  the Nikkei said.
The Nikkei forecast was broadly in line with a Kyodo news agency forecast released on Thursday that saw  Abe âs coalition winning more than 300 seats.
A strong showing by  Abeâs  coalition would boost  his  chances of winning a third term as LDP leader from next September  putting  him  on track to become Japanâs longest-serving premier.
 Abe  called the snap election amid confusion in the opposition camp and after an uptick in  his  ratings  which had been hurt earlier this year by suspected cronyism scandals  in hopes of gaining a fresh mandate after nearly five years in power.
