Input: Consider Input: 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."

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ?

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday denied he wants to oust Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  calling reports to that effect “fake news ” as his top diplomat brushed off speculation that he has lost the confidence of the White House.
As  Tillerson  went about  his  normal schedule of diplomatic activities  including two meetings with Trump  the president said his secretary of state is “not leaving.”
“The media has been speculating that I fired  Rex Tillerson  or that  he  would be leaving soon - FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted. “He’s not leaving and while we disagree on certain subjects  (I call the final shots) we work well together and America is highly respected again!”
The tweet was Trump’s strongest endorsement of his top diplomat since senior White House officials on Thursday began telling reporters that a plan had been devised to push  Tillerson  out and replace him with CIA chief Mike Pompeo. Immediately after reports of the plan emerged  Trump offered only tepid support for  Tillerson   noting only that he was at the White House for a previously scheduled meeting.
The halfhearted backing amid the swirl of speculation over  Tillerson ’s imminent demise had threatened to impair  his  effectiveness  particularly as  he  prepares for an official trip to Europe next week.
On Friday   Tillerson  attended two meetings at the White House with Trump — one with Libya’s visiting prime minister and then a lunch with the president and Defense Secretary James Mattis. Before those meetings   Tillerson  told reporters at the State Department that speculation  he  was on  his  way out was “laughable.”
Tillerson aides had said the secretary was sanguine and remained comfortable in his role despite the turmoil in Trump’s national security team centering on him. Aides said  Tillerson  would continue to serve until the president asked  him  not to and stressed that such a request had not been made.
Although  Tillerson  looks safe for now   he  will be losing a senior aide and conduit to the public in coming weeks.
R.C. Hammond  who has run State Department strategic communications since  Tillerson  took office  will leave his post in mid-December  officials said.
After a report in October that Tillerson had called the president a “moron ”  Tillerson  appeared before cameras to pledge fealty to his boss. Soon after  Trump publicly challenged his secretary to an IQ match.
When  Tillerson  was tapped for the job late last year  many Trump critics expressed quiet relief that  he ’d picked a sober “adult” who could form a counterweight to the president’s brasher  more impulsive approach  especially on critical matters of war and peace.
Yet divisions on key foreign policy issues emerged quickly  and Trump has repeatedly undermined  Tillerson  by voicing positions at odds with his.
When  Tillerson  in June called on Arab nations to ease their blockade on Qatar  Trump hours later lambasted Qatar for funding terrorism. Trump also deemed diplomacy with North Korea a waste of time  when  Tillerson  was pursuing just that.  Tillerson ’s advice to Trump to stay in the Paris climate deal and certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal was similarly overruled.

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Antonin Scalia ? Wednesday’s oral argument in the Supreme Court over affirmative action at the University of Texas had barely concluded before the Internet lit up with “shock horror” reactions to something Justice Antonin Scalia said.
Mother Jones reported  Scalia ’s comments under this headline: “Justice Scalia Suggests Blacks Belong at ‘Slower’ Colleges. Yes   he  really said that.”
No   he  didn’t  if that headline implies that Scalia believes all black students belong at “slower” colleges.
 He  was addressing Gregory Garre  a lawyer for the University of Texas  who was defending the university’s policy of counting race as one factor in a “holistic” review of applicants (which also includes factors such as extracurricular activities  socioeconomic background and “hardships overcome”).
It’s silly for advocates of affirmative action to dissemble about this. And it’s equally silly to suggest that  Scalia  was being racist when  he  clumsily invoked the mismatch theory.


Output: Positive
