Federal agents were "thoroughly disgusted and revolted by what we heard" in Blagojevich's alleged actions.
Even seasoned FBI agents, were appalled by Blagojevich's alleged conduct.
Blagojevich was accused of trying to sell the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama. He also was accused of allegedly shaking down the Tribune Co. over the sale of Wrigley Field.
He also attempted to gain political donations and cash in exchange for state business.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called it conduct that would make Abraham Lincoln roll over in his grave.
Look for the Illinois political machine to distance themselves and Barack Obama from as much fallout as they possibly can.
