Hawley complained that Simon & Schuster was not going to pay him millions of dollars to publish his book. He says that the money was not a bribe, but because they are not going to pay him, he will get revenge on them. He might be right about it not being a bribe, it appears to have crossed over into extortion.
Hawley tells us that the Constitution means that government should force publishers to publish what politicians want, and then pay the politicians what they want. While he did find a new publisher, the new publisher did not have enough money to pay him a bribe.
