after reporters read through the weak magic marker redactions, ron johnson released a statement saying that he and his chiefs of staff were following the wishes of the woman to take no further action. so, now, the man still serving in the wisconsin legislature, with charges pending against him, including those being investigated by the legislature itself, rose through the ranks. even though one of the people who did know was a united states senator and his chief of staff. bill kramer's court date is monday. but meanwhile, the decision not to kick him out of the assembly, to the brave victim, to the police report being poorly redacted. to the u.s. senator's name being at the edge of the story. from the start of story to the present of the story, it has never felt like it was under control. but it is now officially out of control entirely. watch this space.emal neutrogena® pore refining cleanser. alpha-hydroxy and exfoliating beads work to clean and tighten pores so they can look half their size. pores...shrink 'em down to size!

view than our senator -- this man right here -- let me see his name again -- >> guest: senator ron johnson. >> caller: no disrespect. i don't mean any to you. gut the thing is, greta, you want to get the truth out of him you need to have somebody? his same stature sitting in front of him. he is not being truthful because the thing is he knows that there it's a dead dog he is beating with this affordable care act. so all the republicans want to do is beat a dead horse. but don't let him sit there when you know he is lying about using this -- if he wanted to use his money, he could have use his money for this fruitless lawsuit he has to raise money for his campaign, and mr. johnson, you going to lose because you have been deceitful. you called president obama deceitful but when you was running, you went bankrupt, you made a whole hospital go bankrupt under you. how about the cat calling the kettle black. >> host: okay do. >> guest: i think carol is a sporter. >> host: a lot to respond. let me respond about the c-span. carol, i heard that show that you're referring to and what steve said at t

lawmakers how backing a lawsuit filed by wisconsin senator ron johnson. the suit challenges the legality of president obama's executive action obama care. senator johnson joins us. good evening sir. >> hello, greta. how are you doing? >> very well. tell the viewers, what is your lawsuit? what's the overreach you are alleging? >> well, the office of personnel management basically did the president's bidding, the senate democrats bidding in making sure that the federal government contrary to the stated purpose, stated law that is obamacare, could make a tax deferred employer contribution when they had to purchase their insurance through the exchanges. it's unfair, it's unfair treatment. it's special treatment, and by the way the president has no legal authority to change the law the way it did. that's really at the heart of this lawsuit is the doctrine and separation of powers and the fact that this president has exceeded his legal authority. >> what i think is interesting about the lawsuit. i mean, i know that the question -- i don't want to get in the lyle
