Bob Menendez actually said...

"I know you were not lobbying for the sanctions."

"You do not need a lobbying disclosure form to simply seek information and clarification about a bill."

"It is a little difficult to think you actually do not know that Exxon was lobbying on these issues of sanctions."

"This would be a pretty big undertaking to try to circumvent U.S. sanctions by using what may or may not, I am not ready to make that determination, a legal loophole to do so."
