[EX 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."

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cuomo ? ALBANY â Gov. Cuomo  on Monday plans to sign into law new restrictions on electronic cigarettes that effectively ban  their  use in most restaurants  bars and workplaces  the Daily News has learned.
âThese products are marketed as a healthier alternative to cigarettes  but the reality is they also carry long-term risks to the health of users and those around them â  Cuomo  said.
 Cuomo âs decision to sign the bill had been expected.  He  proposed similar restrictions on e-cigarette use as part of  his  executive budget proposal in January.
Supporters of the measure  including the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association  had been lobbying lawmakers and  Cuomo  to approve the measure  arguing that smoke from e-cigarettes posed health risks akin to those of regular cigarettes.
In July  Gov. Cuomo signed into a law a measure that outlawed the smoking of e-cigarettes in all public and private schools.
