Some quotes:
With respect to the Senate seat, Deputy Governor A suggested
putting together a list of things that ROD BLAGOJEVICH would accept in
exchange for the Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH responded that the
list "can't be in writing."
Thereafter, ROD BLAGOJEVICH discussed whether he could obtain an
ambassadorship in exchange for the Senate seat.
92. On November 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke with JOHN HARRIS
regarding the potential vacant Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated
that the "trick . . . is how do you conduct indirectly . . . a
negotiation" for the Senate seat.
Thereafter, ROD BLAGOJEVICH analogized his situation to that of a
sports agent shopping a potential free agent to various teams, stating
"how much are you offering, [President-elect]? What are you
offering, [Senate Candidate 2]? . . . Can always go to. . . [Senate
Candidate 3]."
Later ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he will make a decision on the
Senate seat "in good faith . . .
but it is not coming for free. . . .It's got to be good stuff for
the people of Illinois and good for me."
ROD BLAGOJEVICH states "[President-elect], you want it? Fine.
But, its got to be good or I could always take [the Senate seat]."
