the notion that you are going to get a nuclear agreement with a regime who will not even return a pastor who is wrongly imprisoned, give me a break.

I think this needs to be a proactive priority, of course, for the Congress, but also for the administration.

We passed in the House a bill that would have grandfathered in the plans, and I think that we should do that.

I may suffer political damage. So I am going to do it anyway.

There was a decision by the Administration, a knowing decision, to launch a website that did not work and indeed, was not adequately tested for security.

I think one of the things was, there were political imperatives here and the politics trumped what would work and what would be best for the American people.

It is frustrating, because so much of this law, and we see it in the implementation, was based on representations to the American people that have now turned out not to be true.

Which is exactly why my skepticism remains, because, from their perspective, getting involved in these negotiations... is just buying them time.

I don't believe--I could see how some people because of the sanctions would see a need from an Iranian perspective to have a deal, but I just don't think somebody who is representing the regime's perspective would actually believe that…

the promises that were made to justify the law's passage are essentially null and void. They were essentially false pretenses.

the issue is not going to go away, given that what was promised is not being delivered.
