Sources say she met with lawyers for woman who accused campaign of stealing e-mail list.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann is engaged in settlement negotiations in a lawsuit alleging that senior members of her presidential campaign stole a proprietary e-mail list of home-school families from the computer of an Iowa campaign staffer, according to sources close to the case.

The Minnesota Republican reportedly traveled to Des Moines Monday to meet with attorneys for Barb Heki, an Iowa woman who sued the campaign last year alleging the theft of the list, which eventually was used to contact Iowa home-schoolers.

Lawyers for Bachmann and the campaign did not respond to requests for comment on the talks. Bachmann’s congressional office also declined to comment or provide an account of her whereabouts on Monday.

Heki, the campaign’s former home school coalition director, referred questions to her new litigation attorney, Jeffrey Wright, who also declined to comment. In the past, Heki has sought a public apology from Bachmann, which has not been forthcoming.

[Faux pas]

1. Settlement?

Isn't stealing a crime? Different rules for the 'elite'. Sheesh and

[mac56]

2. You know, I think there may even be a commandment that covers this.

4. Yep, I think you're right.

I find it interesting and not funny that all those right wing nut 'religious' fools don't believe any of those commandments relate to them.
I've loosened all the marbles in my head shaking it so much since the 2000 election. LOL feeling like I live in some kind of alternate universe most of the time!

7. It appears to be a civil suit from reading the OP

so Yes, settlement of some sort with or without a trial, would be the correct course of action.

6. It's Okay...

...to steal if you want to save everybody from the boogie man in your head, Right Michele? I that list had remained in the hands of the ones trusted with it; people who might have had a similar mindset might have lost the chance to be informed (had their fear triggers pushed) about the issues. Without them voting (contributing financially) Iowa might have been lost.
