PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clinton is Negative . Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said a meeting revealed in the House Intelligence Committee memo released Friday shows that  the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee  likely knew about the dossier  despite  their  denials.
The memo revealed that the law firm representing the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC  Perkins Coie  hosted âat least oneâ meeting in Washington  D.C. in 2016 with dossier author Christopher Steele  Fusion GPS  and media outlets  in which the dossierâs research was discussed.
According to Meadows  Perkins Coie could likely not have hosted the meeting without getting its clientâs permission â in this case  the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC â due to attorney-client privilege. Attorney-client privilege would give the  Clinton  campaign and the DNC control over what Perkins Coie could share with other parties â especially the media.
âI canât imagine that a law firm would set that up and bring in the media without knowledge of some individual within the DNC or the  Hillary Clinton  campaign directing them to do so  because it would break an attorney-client privilege to bring in the media and allow that to be exposed without that happening â Meadows said during a conference call with reporters about the memo on Friday.
The  Clinton  campaign paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million from June 2015  and the DNC paid Fusion GPS $3.65 million beginning in November 2015  according to the Washington Post. Obama for America also paid Fusion GPS $972 000 since April 2016  according to The Federalist.
Even after that   Clinton    her  top campaign and DNC officials denied knowing they were paying for the dossier.  Former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook  told CNN that  he  was unaware that the  Clinton  campaign was paying Fusion GPS.
âI didnât know that we were paying the contractor that created that document â  Mook  told CNN on November 3  2017.
 Former Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta  also told Senate Intelligence Committee investigators last year that  he  did not know they were paying for the dossier  according to CNN.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Justin Cronin is Negative . His new vampire thriller  "The Passage " published this month  is a best-seller. The unfinished manuscript sold in a bidding war to Fox 2000 for $1.75 million. And Stephen King called during Cronin's interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" to tell him that he is a fan.
 Cronin talked about vampires  his inspiration for "The Passage" and readers' reaction to his book in a recent interview.
 Cronin: It was her dare. In the fall of 2005 my daughter was 8. I was kind of wondering what to do next and she came to me and she said she thought I should write a book  in her words  "about a girl that saves the world and that it should be interesting." I think every interesting thing a man does in his life  he probably does to impress a girl  and so I wrote this book to impress my daughter.
 Cronin: The word "series" isn't quite right. I want each of these books to be a satisfying book all in itself. ... To call it a trilogy is true but not really the whole truth and not the exact truth  but there are three books all taking place in this world with this basic set of characters.
 Cronin: Oh  yeah. My office is the war room. I've got a white board and photographs and maps and every kind of thing up there.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ramsey Orta is Neutral .

 Orta  said in  his  letter from prison that five to seven correction officers were involved in moving  him  to solitary. One of them âshoved my face into the wall very hard and started to pull my hair from behind and began to slap me on the right side of my face a few times â  he  wrote.
During a pat-down   he  said  the same correction officer âgrabbed and pulledâ  his  genitals twice.  Orta  says  he  was then slapped again.

 Orta  was thrown in solitary for a âtier 3â infraction typically linked to contraband or fighting  Plasse said.  Orta  hopes to be out of solitary by Thanksgiving.
A notice of claim filed by Plasse says  Orta  was duped in December into trusting an inmate at Fishkill. The inmate lured  Orta  into an ambush where he was slashed  the legal papers say.
The attorney said he is still preparing a lawsuit over the incident to be filed in the Court of Claims. The notice says  Orta  will seek $10 million for the slashing.
 Orta  has at least five ongoing lawsuits against the city stemming from  his  frequent run-ins with the law â most while participating in protests.
His most recent suit  filed last month  says he was wrongfully arrested at an anti-police-brutality demonstration in September 2016. The lawsuit notes that  Orta  is the only person at the scene of Garnerâs death who has gone to prison.
