PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Seth Rich ? As rumors swirl that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing a case against Russians who are alleged to have hacked Democrats during the 2016 election â a conclusion based solely on the analysis of cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike  a Friday op-ed in the Washington Times by retired U.S. Navy admiral James A. Lyons  Jr. asks a simple  yet monumentally significant question: Why havenât Congressional Investigators or Special Counsel Robert Mueller addressed the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich â who multiple people have claimed was Wikileaksâ source of emails leaked during the 2016 U.S. presidential election?
Mueller has been incredibly thorough in his ongoing investigations â however he wonât even respond to Kim Dotcom  the New Zealand entrepreneur who clearly knew about the hacked emails long before they were released  claims that  Seth Rich  obtained them with a memory stick  and has offered to provide proof to the Special Counsel investigation.
Reminder: Hereâs the first letter my lawyers wrote to Special Counsel Mueller regarding  Seth Rich . We never received any reply. Itâs astonishing considering my first hand knowledge of the DNC leak. [Link] â Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) March 2  2018
I knew  Seth Rich . I know  he  was the @Wikileaks source. I was involved. [Link] â Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) May 20  2017
On May 18  2017  Dotcom proposed that if Congress includes the  Seth Rich  investigation in their Russia probe   he  would provide written testimony with evidence that  Seth Rich  was WikiLeaksâ source.
Odd facts surrounding the murder of  Seth Rich
 âThe facts that we know of in the murder of the DNC staffer   Seth Rich   was that  he  was gunned down blocks from  his  home on July 10  2016. Washington Metro police detectives claim that  Mr. Rich  was a robbery victim  which is strange since after being shot twice in the back   he  was still wearing a $2 000 gold necklace and watch.  He  still had  his  wallet  key and phone. Clearly   he  was not a victim of robbery â writes Lyons.
Another unexplained fact muddying the Rich case is that of a stolen 40 caliber Glock 22 handguns stoken from an FBI agentâs car the same day  Rich  was murdered. D.C. Metro police said that the theft occurred between 5 and 7 a.m.  while the FBI said two weeks later that the theft had occurred between Midnight and 2 a.m. â fueling speculation that the FBI gun was used in Richâs murder.
Furthermore  two men working with the Rich family â private investigator and former D.C. Police detective Rod Wheeler and family acquaintance Ed Butowsky  have previously stated that  Rich  had contacts with WikiLeaks before his death.
While Wheeler initially told TV station Fox5 that proof of Richâs contact with WikiLeaks lies on the murdered IT stafferâs laptop  he later walked the claim back â though he maintained that there was âsome communication between  Seth Rich  and WikiLeaks.â

Wheeler also claimed in recently leaked audio that  Seth Richâs  brother  Aaron â a Northrup Grumman employee  blocked him from looking at Sethâs computer and stonewalled his investigation.
Wheeler said that  brother Aaron Rich  tried to block Wheeler from looking at Sethâs computer  even though there could be evidence on it. â He  said no   he  said I have  his  computer  meaning  him  â Wheeler said. âI said  well can I look at it?â¦ He  said  what are you looking for? I said anything that could indicate if  Seth  was having problems with someone.  He  said no  I already checked it. Donât worry about it.â Aaron also blocked Wheeler from finding out about who was at a party  Seth  attended the night of the murder. âAll I want you to do is work on the botched robbery theory and thatâs it â Aaron told Wheeler âBig League Politics
Perhaps the most stunning audio evidence  however  comes from leaked audio of a recorded conversation between Ed Butowsky and Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh  who told him of  a âpurported FBI report establishing that Seth Rich sent emails to WikiLeaks .â
What  the report  says is that some time in late Springâ¦ he makes contact with WikiLeaks  thatâs in his computer â he says. âAnyway  they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents â of emails  of juicy emails  from the DNC.â Hersh explains that it was unclear how the negotiations went  but that WikiLeaks did obtain access to a password protected DropBox where  Rich  had put the files. âAll I know is that he offered a sample  an extensive sample  Iâm sure dozens of emails  and said âI want money.âLater  WikiLeaks did get the password  he had a DropBox  a protected DropBox â he said. They got access to the DropBox.â Hersh also states that  Rich  had concerns about something happening to him  and had âThe word was passed  according to the NSA report  he also shared this DropBox with a couple of friends  so that âif anything happens to me itâs not going to solve your problems ââ he added. âWikiLeaks got access before he was killed.â
Last but not least  letâs not forget that Julian Assange heavily implied  Seth Rich  was a source:

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Dimon ? CHICAGO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jamie Dimon  chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co  on Wednesday said he expects to see a new U.S. president in 2021 and advised the Democratic party to come up with a “pro-free enterprise” agenda for jobs and economic growth instead.

Asked at a luncheon hosted by The Economic Club of Chicago how many years Republican President Donald Trump will be in office   Dimon  said  “If I had to bet  I’d bet three and half. But the Democrats have to come up with a reasonable candidate ... or Trump will win again.”
Dimon  who in the past has described  himself  as “barely” a Democrat  has been going to Washington more often since the 2016 elections to lobby lawmakers on issues including changes in corporate taxes  immigration policies and mortgage finance.
He also commented on foreign affairs  saying  for example  “We should never be rude to a neighbor like Mexico” and cautioning that the political weakness of  German Chancellor Angela Merkel “ is bad for all of us.” Talks on forming a governing coalition including Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union collapsed earlier this week  casting doubt on her future after 12 years in power.
 Dimon  spoke for several minutes about discrimination over gender and race which  he  said is not acknowledged enough in the United States.
“If you’re white  paint yourself black and walk down the street one day  and you’ll probably have a little more empathy for how some of these folks get treated ”  Dimon  said. “ We  need to make a special effort because this is a special problem.”
 Dimon  gave  his  own bank a mixed review on diversity.  His  direct reports include people who identify as lesbian  gay  bisexual or transgender (LGBT)  and half are women as are 30 percent of the top 200 JPMorgan executives   he  said.
Now in  his  12th year as JPMorgan’s CEO   Dimon  also reflected a bit on  his  own role.
“I basically love my job ”  Dimon  said. “I mean  it’s tiring; it’s exhausting. I have to go down to Washington all the time and it’s a big pain in the ass  but I basically love my job.”
