[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Forrest Claypool ? Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday continued to defend his handpicked Chicago Public Schools chief in the face of a searing inspector generalâs report that accuses district CEO Forrest Claypool of engaging in a âfull-blown cover-upâ to ward off an ethics probe.
 Claypool  ârepeatedly liedâ during the investigation by denying  he  had asked an attorney to alter a bill for legal advice on an ethics issue involving the districtâs top attorney  said Inspector General Nicholas Schuler  who has recommended that  Claypool  be fired. âIâm not looking at freaking bills  â Claypool  said in one interview with investigators  according to Schulerâs report.
âAt every turn in this matter   Claypool  kept making matters worse. And it appears that  his  decisions were driven by a clear desire to keep information harmful to  his  narrative from the Board  the OIG and the public â Schuler wrote.
 Claypool  met privately with school board members on Thursday and issued a lengthy statement in which  he  apologized for âmistakes in judgmentâ while defending  his  legacy and making it clear  he  disagrees with Schulerâs interpretation of CPS ethics policy.
âTo put this in perspective: This situation is about how I zealously tried to get Chicago students their fair share of state education dollars  after years and years of racial discrimination  and getting those kids the best possible legal representation â said  Claypool   who canceled a scheduled appearance at a North Side elementary school on Thursday. He did not directly address Schulerâs most damaging allegations.
Claypoolâs alleged cover-up turned an investigation into whether district attorney Ronald Marmer violated CPS ethics policies on contracts and business relationships into a call for  Claypoolâs  termination. Schuler also is recommending that Marmer be disciplined with a âlengthy suspension or even termination.â
Marmer is one of several of  Claypool 's former colleagues and past political donors who have won district jobs and consulting contracts. He has received annual payments of roughly $200 000 as severance from the law firm of Jenner & Block in addition to his CPS salary.
Three attorneys on a CPS ethics committee concluded Marmer couldnât manage the contract because his severance payments created a âbusiness relationshipâ with Jenner.. A fourth CPS attorney  Joseph Moriarty  was told of the committeeâs decision and agreed with it. Moriarty told Schuler that Marmer âbecame concerned by the decision â and was going to speak with  Claypool .
 Claypool  and Marmer then turned to former CPS general counsel Patrick Rocks for another opinion  Schuler said. In a conference call with  Claypool  and two other attorneys  Rocks said he agreed with CPS' legal consensus.
 So Claypool  and Marmer decided to ask labor attorney James Franczek for his take. Franczek also agreed with the previous opinions  which didnât go down well with  Claypool  and Marmer. He later sent an email to Moriarty that said âI think I am off the xmas card list.â
 Claypool  ultimately turned to political donor J. Timothy Eaton  who  according to Schulerâs report  served as a teacherâs assistant for a college course  Claypool  took while Eaton was a law student.
 âClaypool  attempted to paper over the opinions of the six attorneys with Eatonâs letter â Schuler wrote in his report. In addition  after the IGâs investigation had begun  Marmer complained about Franczekâs bill  which had âCPSâs Code of Ethicsâ and âethics issuesâ listed on it.  Claypool  asked Franczek to change the listings. Franczek then crossed out the entries and hand wrote âpersonnelâ and âpersonnel issuesâ in their place  the report says.
Franczek delivered the reworded invoice back to  Claypool  with a cover letter marked âFor Forrest Claypoolâs Eyes Only.â
In interviews with the IG during the investigation   Claypool â unequivocally  emphatically and repeatedlyâ denied  he  had asked Franczek to make changes to the bill  and said â he  would never have been involved in such lowly billing matters.â
But last month  in a letter to Schuler's office   Claypool  apologized for intervening to reword the invoice.  Claypool 's letter acknowledged Schuler had documents that contradicted the CEO's initial claim.
â He  turned 180 degrees from claiming certain memory to no memory at all â Schuler wrote in  his  report. â His  letter was designed to taint the Boardâs reception of the OIGâs final report by falsely portraying lies on two separate occasions as mere lapses of memory.â

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Quentin Clark ? Dropbox disclosed in a public filing last week that  Quentin Clark   its SVP of engineering  product  and design  was paid a total compensation worth $34.6 million in 2017. That includes a prorated base salary of $130 000  a one-time signing bonus of $340 000  and company stock worth $34.1 million  which will vest over five years.
 Clark 's pay package last year is impressive given how Dropbox has hired a number of high-profile executives over the years  including COO Dennis Woodside.  Clark  is relatively little known outside of engineering circles and has maintained a low-profile despite a long engineering career that spans more than two decades.
Prior to joining Dropbox   Clark  held the chief technology officer and chief business officer roles at SAP.
But  Clark  spent the majority of  his  career at Microsoft.  He  spent nearly 20 years in various engineering roles  including as a vice president in charge of the company's database products. In  his  LinkedIn profile   Clark  describes  his  work at Microsoft as having managed "the SQL Server product and the broader data platform work " including Business Intelligence  Big Data products and the cloud data platform work in Azure.
 Clark  also worked on WinFS  a Microsoft project in the early 2000s that aimed to replace the file system in Windows with a more database-like file system. It never shipped  and some insiders blamed it for contributing to the delays that plagued Windows Vista. Bill Gates  then chief software architect  once said on Reddit that not shipping it was his biggest regret among unrealized products.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald John Trump ? âI   Donald John Trump   do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States  and will to the best of my ability  preserve  protect and defend the Constitution of the United States  so help me God.â
One year ago   President-Elect Donald Trump  took the stage on a rainy but warm day at the United States Capitol and took the oath of office to officially become the 45th President of the United States.
I remember that week in D.C.  getting the honor of serving in some truly exhilarating roles with the Presidential Inaugural Committee. It was surreal  just like election night had been.  The Trump Presidency  was finally materializing and with  it  the new optimism and hope that marks every new administration.
On the military side  weâve seen significantly increased funding for our troops and a true materialization of President Trumpâs campaign promise to ârebuild our military.â Not only that  but Daesh has been in the course of just a year been completely wiped out by a coordinated military plan and coalition led by  President Trump and Secretary of Defense James Mattis .
On the regulatory front   Trump  has made major headway in reducing burdensome regulation and restoring the proper role of government oversight  market stabilization  and consumer protection. While measuring overall regulatory burden is complex  multiple studies have shown  Trump  has stayed true and begun the tough process of reorienting our administrative state.
Lastly  judges. Beyond the excellent and extremely essential appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court to fill Justice Antonin Scaliaâs vacancy   President Trump  has appointed an incredible 22 judges to Federal Circuit and District Courts this year  making  him  among the most prolific judicial vacancy fillers among Presidents.
Lastly   Trump  has appointed an incredible array of leaders to his cabinet and administration. From historic levels of appointing women to senior leadership positions in government to leaders such as HUD Secretary Ben Carson  UN Ambassador Nikki Haley  Energy Secretary Rick Perry  and countless others   Trump  has assembled a truly all-star team in D.C. that is working every day to better the lives of the American people.
