PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clinton is Negative . Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said a meeting revealed in the House Intelligence Committee memo released Friday shows that  the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee  likely knew about the dossier  despite  their  denials.
The memo revealed that the law firm representing the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC  Perkins Coie  hosted âat least oneâ meeting in Washington  D.C. in 2016 with dossier author Christopher Steele  Fusion GPS  and media outlets  in which the dossierâs research was discussed.
According to Meadows  Perkins Coie could likely not have hosted the meeting without getting its clientâs permission â in this case  the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC â due to attorney-client privilege. Attorney-client privilege would give the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC control over what Perkins Coie could share with other parties â especially the media.
âI canât imagine that a law firm would set that up and bring in the media without knowledge of some individual within the DNC or the  Hillary Clinton  campaign directing them to do so  because it would break an attorney-client privilege to bring in the media and allow that to be exposed without that happening â Meadows said during a conference call with reporters about the memo on Friday.
The  Clinton  campaign paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million from June 2015  and the DNC paid Fusion GPS $3.65 million beginning in November 2015  according to the Washington Post. Obama for America also paid Fusion GPS $972 000 since April 2016  according to The Federalist.
Even after that   Clinton    her  top campaign and DNC officials denied knowing they were paying for the dossier.  Former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook  told CNN that  he  was unaware that the  Clinton  campaign was paying Fusion GPS.
âI didnât know that we were paying the contractor that created that document â  Mook  told CNN on November 3  2017.
 Former Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta  also told Senate Intelligence Committee investigators last year that  he  did not know they were paying for the dossier  according to CNN.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins is Positive . Terry Collins â imminent firing didnât have to get ugly  if not downright reprehensible. Really  it shouldnât have been difficult at all.
The difference was the Phillies informed Mackanin of their decision â imagine that â and asked  him  to remain in the organization as an assistant to GM Matt Klentak  an offer the ex-manager said he was happy to accept.
And Mackanin failed to so much as manage the Phillies to a winning record  never mind a World Series. He was on the job for less than three full seasons  or not even half the time  Collins  managed in New York.

So why couldnât the Mets have handled their business in a similarly classy manner  instead of keeping  Collins  in the dark about a decision that was a foregone conclusion for months  and then trashing him with anonymous front-office quotes in his final few days in the big chair.
What  they got mad when  Collins   in response to names of potential successors being leaked to the media  said he had no intention of retiring at the end of the season?
If they had given him the Mackanin treatment before the Metsâ final homestand  and offered him some type of organizational job for a couple of years  Iâm certain  Collins  would have then agreed to say it was time to step down.
After all  heâs 68 and well aware the front office has been critical of his decision-making for years  particularly his handling of pitchers. While the 2017 season was hardly  Collins â fault   his  team crippled by injuries  the Metsâ brass had every right if it felt the time had come for change.

All management had to do was communicate that to  him  at some point and then allow  him  to finish the season. The team was playing out the string anyway  and though Metsâ fans have had their issues over the years with  his  in-game strategy  surely they would have given  Collins  an ovation or two last week at Citi Field.
Even if  Collins  deserves some of the blame for what turned into a cold war of sorts this summer with the front office and ownership  perhaps in part because  he  didnât like being told  he  couldnât talk about injuries  in the end Alderson should have been bigger than that.
And  yes  Iâm aware that Fred and Jeff Wilpon have the final say  but thatâs no excuse for the GM leaving  Collins  hanging.
When I spoke with  Collins  last week   he  said  he  hadnât been told a thing about  his  future. When I asked  him  if  he  had considered going to Alderson to ask about it   he  shook  his  head.
âI shouldnât have to â  he  said.
 He âs right about that.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jimmy Kimmel is Negative . âWe work together to make sure the next 90 years empower these limitless possibilities of equality  diversity  inclusion and intersectionality â said Judd. âThatâs what this year has promised us. â
Host Jimmy Kimmel  opened with a monologue that mixed Weinstein punchlines with earnest comments about reforming gender equality in Hollywood. And of course  Kimmel â returning to the scene of the flub â dove straight into material about last yearâs infamous best-picture mix-up.
âI do want to mention  this year  when you hear your name called  donât get up right away â said  Kimmel . âGive us a minute.â
But while  Kimmel  spent a few moments on the fiasco known as Envelopegate   he  expended far more minutes frankly and soberly discussing the parade of sexual harassment allegations in the wake of the revelations regarding Weinstein. Kimimel cited the industryâs poor record for female directors and equal pay.
âWe canât let bad behavior slide anymore â said  Kimmel . âThe world is watching us.â
Gesturing to a giant statue on the stage   he  praised Oscar   himself  for keeping â his  hands where you can see themâ and for having âno penis at all.â But  Kimmel  introduced the broadcast as âa night for positivity â and cited  among other things  the box-office sensation of âBlack Panther.â
âI remember a time when the major studios didnât believe a woman or a minority could open a super hero movie â and the reason I remember that time is because it was March of last year â said  Kimmel .
With just a few minutes before the show started   Kimmel  and  his  team emerged from  his  dressing room chanting  âLetâs get it right this time!â
