What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Mueller ? A 'Toothless' Old Law Could Have New Fangs  Thanks To Robert Mueller
But  Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller  isn't laughing — and neither may potential violators if  he  decides to make it  his  new weapon of choice.
Then  in October  Mueller's office changed that when it indicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and  his  longtime business associate Rick Gates — instantly becoming the highest-profile FARA prosecution ever.
Those charges have raised the question about whether  Mueller  has more up  his  sleeve for other people swept up in the Russia probe who could be connected with lobbying and influence work for foreign governments and entities.
 Mueller 's next steps
With Manafort and Gates charged  one next potential FARA target for  Mueller  is former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn belatedly filed a FARA registration in March for work his consulting firm did on behalf of the Turkish government. That in itself isn't necessarily a problem — the Justice Department makes it a policy to accept late filings rather than punish the practice  as a means to encourage filing at all.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Susan Avery ? The clock has finally run out for an Upper East Side judge who ridiculed a lawyer with cerebral palsy and allowed cases involving tenants without heat or hot water to drag on   sources told The Post . The Manhattan Housing Court ’ s advisory council   which reviews its judges after each four - year term   recently ruled that jurist Susan Avery should get the boot — as it catalogued years of complaints against her   sources said . Avery ’ s chief - judge boss is now set to follow through on the recommendation by the end of the year   sources said . “ Considering the complaints against her   it ’ s about time for her to leave the bench  ” said Alan Flacks   a longtime local resident pushing for judicial reform . Avery   52   of East 84th Street   landed her $ 175   000 - a - year job in 2012 thanks to a political appointment by then - Chief Judge Gail Prudenti . But she started demonstrating poor judgment almost immediately from the bench   according to the 14 - member Advisory Council for the Housing Part of the Civil Court of New York City . In 2013   Avery reprimanded a lawyer with cerebral palsy for his sloppy handwriting   the panel said in its four - page finding   which called the judge “ unfeeling .’’ The incident resulted in a letter of caution being placed in Avery ’ s file   according to a court source . The council — comprised of representatives from both the real - estate industry and tenants ’ organizations appointed by the mayor and governor — also criticized Avery for “ excessive multi - week adjournments ” for cases involving lack of heat and hot water   said the letter   a copy of which was read to The Post . The advisory council said in its decision last month that the New York Law School grad showed a general “ lack of concern ” for the litigants before her . The council added it was “ disturbed further ” by conflicts of interests involving the Housing Court judge ’ s family real - estate holdings . A court source said  Avery  failed to disclose that a law firm administering a family trust also regularly represents landlords in cases before the judge . Meanwhile   the jurist garnered a “ not approved ” rating by the city Bar Association — twice . Voters also refused to back her two bids to move up to civil court . In the summer of 2016    a judge who was running against Avery for a civil - court position  lodged a complaint over her campaign tactics . Justice Sabrina Kraus   who was appointed to the bench in 2005   accused Avery ’ s boyfriend of making derogatory comments about her Iranian heritage on Facebook .  Avery  failed to disavow the remarks   showing ethnic bias   the advisory panel added . Kraus beat  Avery  to win the seat .  Avery  ran for civil court again this year but lost in the September primary .  Avery  did not respond to multiple requests for comment . The former chief judge who appointed her   Prudenti   said she had no memory of choosing her .

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Eric Hosmer ? PEORIA  Ariz. (AP) — Just the thought of  free agent first baseman Eric Hosmer  joining the downtrodden  youthful San Diego Padres sent a morning jolt through the spring training clubhouse.
 Hosmer  reached a preliminary agreement on an eight-year contract with the Padres  pending a physical. A person with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed the tentative deal  speaking on the condition of anonymity Sunday because there had been no formal announcement of  Hosmer 's potential signing.
It would become official once he passes a physical early in the week. While the final position players reported Sunday — most were already in spring camp — ahead of Monday's first full-squad workout   Hosmer  wasn't expected in the desert until at least Monday.
 Hosmer  who spent his first seven major league seasons with Kansas City   would receive a reported $144 million.
Padres manager Andy Green could only discuss the acquisition of  Hosmer  in generalities since it isn't final  but was hopeful of having his full team together Monday.

He hadn't been in touch with  Hosmer  in recent days but they did communicate earlier in the winter when Young chose San Diego and discussed that it was among  Hosmer 's top choices  too. Young said he didn't want to add any pressure to  Hosmer  making a decision.
Green knows what someone such as  Hosmer  could mean to a club's chances of turning  it  around .
"It was always time to start contending for  me  " said Green  beginning his third season as San Diego skipper. "It was always go out and win opening day and go out and win every game. I haven't been very good at that  I have to acknowledge that. At this point in time  opening day has been cruel to  me  so far.
