During the testimony, aides posted huge placards on a stand at the front of the chamber with verbatim excerpts from the recordings — including an alleged quote from Blagojevich saying the Senate seat is a “f—king valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

During one conversation with Harris, Blagoejvich is quoted as saying that the state might not be able to help the Tribune company with the Wrigley deal and the Illinois Finance Authority because of the impeachment editorials.

“We don’t know if we can take a chance and do this IFA deal now. I don’t want to give them a ground to impeach me,” Blagoejvich is quoted as saying, continuing to say that “our recommendation is fire all those effing people, get ‘em the eff out of there and get us some editorial support.”

I simply LOVE that placard. Live coverage of the trail — streaming here.
