"We should have an independent outside investigator, not only on these circumstances, but on actions of what members of Congress are doing. I mean, I've got an opponent who is under federal criminal investigation."
(Moderator:) "Senator Menendez, yes or no, should there be a senate investigation as well?
(Menendez:) "Absolutely! Anything to protect the pages should be pursued."
Menendez spent most of his time taking Kean to task for supporting the Bush administration's stance on the Iraq war.
