question:
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.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jon Balke ? The region's spirit has inspired contemporary Norwegian pianist and composer Jon Balke â who  with his group Siwan  recently released his second album drawn from those influences  titled Nahnou Houm.
 Balke  first learned of Al-Andalus when  he  was commissioned to write music by a Moroccan promoter to celebrate a venue's 15th anniversary.
"This was how I stumbled upon Gharnati music  which is the Andalusian music that existed in 1400 in Spain and was driven out  " Balke  says.
The intellectual and social exchange fostered by  its  rulers helped make Al-Andalus one of the most culturally rich areas of Europe. But the Christian kingdoms to the north attacked repeatedly  and in 1492  the Spanish crown reclaimed the last vestiges of the region. Muslims and Jews were either forced to convert  killed or expelled. Many sought refuge across the Mediterranean Sea.
An Algerian classical singer  Boutchebak is the lead vocalist on the new album by  Jon Balke  and Siwan. She says the culture of what came to be called Andalusia was carried and preserved by the exiles.
 Jon Balke  has taken this tradition's poetry and composed  his  own music around it.
"It's a framing of the musical project "  Balke  says. "It puts the project in a framework that speaks about history and that speaks about a kind of a mentality that  from what you can read  existed in the best parts of this period â a kind of open  liberal practice of tolerance and coexistence.

Positive
