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 Sam ? Walmart confirmed Thursday that it is closing dozens of Sam's Club warehouse stores â a move that a union-backed group estimated could cost thousands of jobs â on the same day the company announced that it was boosting its starting salary for U.S. workers and handing out bonuses.
The world's largest private employer said it was closing 63 of its 660  Sam 's Clubs over the next weeks  with some shut already. Ten are being converted into e-commerce distribution centers  according to a company official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the decision publicly.
He said it was too early to say how many people overall would lose their jobs since some will be placed at other Walmart locations or rehired at the e-commerce sites. Making Change at Walmart  a campaign backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union  estimates that 150 to 160 people work at each Sam's Club store  meaning the closures could affect about 10 000 people.
Lauren Fitz  22  said she was at her other job as a church secretary when a colleague texted to say that  the Sam's Club  where they both worked in Loveland  Ohio  had closed. Fitz had been pleased earlier to read the news that Walmart was boosting starting salaries and offering bonuses.
"I thought  'this is really cool.' And then to find out that my store is closing " said Fitz  who said she had worked as a sales associate in the jewelry department for two months. At home  she got a call from her manager and had a letter in the mail saying the store had closed and she could seek employment at another Sam's Club or Walmart store.
On Twitter   Sam's Club  responded to people's queries by saying  "After a thorough review of our existing portfolio  we've decided to close a series of clubs and better align our locations with our strategy."
President Donald Trump cheered the announcement with a tweet  saying  "Great news  as a result of our TAX CUTS & JOBS ACT!" White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders later said she would not comment on the Sam's Club closings but that the wage increases were a sign that the tax measures "are having the impact that we had hoped."
Walmart announced years ago that it would actively manage its store portfolio as it strives to put a dent in Amazon's dominance online. With Thursday's closing  that strategy is now extending to Sam's Club.
The company said the wage increase benefits all hourly U.S. workers at its stores  including Sam's Club  as well as hourly employees at its websites  distribution centers and its Bentonville  Arkansas  headquarters. The one-time bonus between $200 and $1 000 will be given to Walmart employees who won't receive a pay raise.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon Steve ? As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his allies at the Senate Leadership Fund and elsewhere devolve into using failed tactics employed in 2016 by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton  the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) are hammering back at McConnell and his cronies. McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund has  just like Hillary Clinton did  falsely alleged that  Bannon  is anti-Semitic.
The Senate Leadership Fund  in a move that only hurts Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) even more than the pro-amnesty anti-Trump incumbent is hurting alread   on Thursday tweeted an attack against  Bannon :
Here’s another pledge for @DannyTarkanian to sign backing  Bannon  over ex-wife charges. #NVSen pic.twitter.com/qIHE8SrAJL — Senate Ldshp Fund (@Senate_Fund) October 25  2017
In a comment to The Hill newspaper  Holmes falsely alleged  Bannon  is a “white supremacist.”
“In 2018 we ought to revisit this question and find out if these people are still happy to be associated with  Bannon  ” Holmes said. “When you’re facing voters  I’d take one of the most successful majority leaders in history over a white supremacist any day.”
Matt Brooks  the director of the Republican Jewish Coalition  said that  while his group does support Heller  McConnell and his cronies are wrong to make this false allegation against  Bannon .
“We defended  him  [ Bannon ] aggressively when  he  faced these accusations from the left  and I’ll defend  him  when  he  faces these accusations from the right ” Brooks said  per the Jewish Telegraphic Agency news organization  adding: “Dean Heller is a perfect example where  Bannon  and the RJC are on different sides  but I will absolutely defend  Bannon  — he is not anti-Semitic.”
ZOA does not invite anti-Semites to our events.  Steve Bannon  is the furthest thing from an anti-Semite  contrary to McConnell and Holmes’s shameful lies.  Steve  is a proud friend of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. I know and have worked closely with  Steve Bannon . I am appalled by these shameful attempts to smear  Bannon ’s character and integrity by promoting false allegations about  Bannon ’s views on Jews and Israel. This is clearly being done because of policy differences between Senator McConnell and  Bannon .
 He  then quotes Dershowitz  a liberal Harvard professor  who says it is not “legitimate” or accurate to make such accusations against  Bannon .
“It’s not legitimate to call [ Bannon ] an anti-Semite because you disagree with his policies ” Dershowitz said  per Klein’s ZOA release. “The evidence suggests that  Mr. Bannon  has very good relationships with individual Jews and is supportive of Israel. I’ve seen no evidence of personal anti-Semitism on the part of  Bannon .”
Klein also quotes Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus  a major GOP donor  as saying the attacks against  Bannon  are a disgrace. “I have known  Steve  to be a passionate supporter of Israel ” the ZOA release quotes Marcus as saying  adding: “What is being done to  Steve  is a shonda [disgrace].”
The release from ZOA continues by quoting more people backing up  Bannon :
The Anti-Defamation League acknowledged that it has found no written or verbal statements made by  Bannon  that were anti-Semitic. Liberal columnist and former editor of the Forward  J.J. Goldberg  recently wrote about these charges against  Bannon   “There’s no evidence. The evidence that’s tossed around doesn’t hold up. The more we cry anti-Semitism when it’s not real  the more likely we won’t believe when the danger is real.” Vanity Fair reported that  Bannon  valiantly fought to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem  and refused to attend a meeting with Palestinian-Arab leader Mahmoud Abbas  a Jew-hating  Israel-hating terrorist.  Bannon  is quoted as saying  “I’m not going to breathe the same air as that terrorist.”
The release from ZOA concludes by again praising  Bannon  and saying the organization is proud to have  him  at the group’s annual dinner in New York City on Nov. 12. Klein said:
 Steve  has helped ZOA and our battles against anti-Semitism on college campuses and has invited me  a Jew and a Zionist  to be a regular columnist at his Breitbart News. Anti-Semites don’t provide Morton Klein with a platform. We are proud and fortunate to have  Steve Bannon  on our side fighting for Israel and against anti-Semitism. And we’re honored that  he  will be a speaker at ZOA’s 2017 Gala where  he  will be introducing Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson  the greatest pro-Jewish Zionists on the face of the planet.
It remains to be seen if Holmes and Senate Leadership Fund and McConnell will withdraw their false attacks against  Bannon   or if they will further infuriate Jewish Republicans including major GOP donors like Adelson and Marcus–and further jeopardize more incumbents like Heller.
