The House Committee on Oversight and Reform issued a letter earlier this week detailing alleged financial improprieties by the Commanders and team owner Dan Snyder
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares acknowledged receipt of the letter, and said that the office is reviewing it before releasing a statement.
William Kovacic, a George Washington University law professor and former general counsel of the Federal Trade Commission, told the“You generally don’t like to brush off a legislative committee, especially if you’re the chair. It’s your own party, they want you to do something. It’s awkward to tell them, ‘Get lost, we have too much else.’ Indeed, they have too many other things to do… but they understand the National Football League, so that would draw you to do it,” Kovacic said.
“If the FTC found something that could be called a crime, they’d have to hand it off to somebody else, which means going to the criminal division of the Department of Justice or perhaps going to these state attorneys general. [The FTC] have absolutely no criminal enforcement authority. On the civil side, their foremost remedy is to tell people to stop it and don’t do it again, to get an injunction, a cease-and-desist order.
