Two members of Congress sent a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday, seeking information and documents pertaining to the league's investigation of a toxic work culture within the Washington Football Team.

In the letter, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-IL, expressed concerns about the NFL's handling of the WFT investigation, which lasted nearly a year but did not result in the product of a written report.

They also asked that the league turn over specific documents to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform by Nov. 4.

"We have serious concerns about what appears to be widespread abusive workplace conduct at the WFT and about the NFL’s handling of this matter," Reps. Maloney and Krishnamoorthi wrote in part of the letter.

"Communications between league management and WFT leadership also raise questions about the league’s asserted impartiality in these investigations. In addition, we are deeply troubled by the reported use of non-disclosure agreements to potentially conceal inappropriate behavior, including conduct that is prohibited by federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act."

Fauci straight up lies to Congress and not only will the Dems not do anything about it; they will do everything in their power to cover for him. This is just a chance for two Marxists to use a hearing as a chance to yell, "See! America is evil/racist/homophobic!"

We actually want these idiots as far away from that process as possible. They are the ones who fricked everything up, after all.

It doesn’t take much research on these two to learn they love the spotlight, but don’t have any original ideas.

They wait for a story to break, then make a lot of noise to attract attention to themselves. They don’t solve problems.

I belive only a congressional committee can have supbeona power. That would mean, to get these documents, they would have to have an entire dog and pony show on the Hill and call Goodell and everyone else in to testify to actuay get these documents they want.

There are way too many powerful people involved in this to put a stop to ever letting it get to an actual hearing.

You mean like your party did during the Hillary scandal?

The last people that need to be investigating this is the party that illegally spied on and framed a President and covered all of it up

Maloney wouldn't even be there without a rigged election. She lost but the Democrats threw out thousands of mail in ballots that voted the "wrong" way.

Because they’d have time to help the American citizen if they weren’t. Worthless PsOS.

frick, as much as I want all that shite to be exposed, all 650,000 emails, so that all the hypocrisy can be exposed and it can all be burned down, there is no fricking way the government should be involved in this in any way. Congress can eat a dick.

Congress can EABOD, but if it exposes Goodell for the POS fraud he is I'm not against it.
