Robert Menendez actually said...

"I share your concerns that the Iranians are playing for time."

"I applaud the administration for undertaking them. I think it is incumbent on us to look for every avenue."

"I do not believe that strengthens us. It does not strengthen our position at all, and these negotiations are going on right now."

"The way in which we were able to mount all this pressure and all these sanctions on Iran is because, as Senator Menendez was describing, they engaged in years of cheating on that program."
