# 5 offered up to $ 1M for Senate seat

Emissaries for Senate Candidate 5 offered Blagojevich up to $1m for the Senate seat

Excerpt:

According to the FBI affidavit in the case, emissaries for Senate Candidate 5 offered Blagojevich up to $1m for the Senate seat.

Describing the offer in an October 31 conversation recorded by the FBI, Blagojevich said: "We were approached 'pay to play'. That you know, he'd raise me 500 grand. An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million, if I made him [Senate Candidate 5] a senator."

Comment: Of course ... innocent until proven guilty! Who is # 5? See yesterday's post.
