The NFL says the Washington Commanders' hiring of an investigative firm won't stop the league from conducting its own inquiry into Tiffani Johnston's allegations of sexual harassment against team owner Dan Snyder.
The Commanders announced Wednesday morning that Pallas Global Group LLC, led by former Assistant United States Attorneys Bonnie Jonas and Tiffany Moller, will manage an "independent investigation" into allegations made last week by Johnston before a congressional committee.
But the league clarified later Wednesday that the Commanders' investigation would be separate from any investigation or action taken by the NFL.
A league spokesman said in a statement, "Last week, the League stated that we will review and consider Ms. Johnston's allegations as we would any others regarding workplace conduct at the Washington Commanders. The League, not the team, will conduct an independent investigation and will be retaining an investigator to determine the facts shortly."
"Apparently the NFL also recognized how absurd it was to think Dan Snyder could investigate himself," Johnston's attorney, Lisa Banks, said in a statement to ESPN. "We await communication from the NFL about whether it intends to undertake this investigation independently, and without any common interest agreement with Snyder. If the investigation is truly independent, and the NFL commits to make the findings public, my clients will be happy to participate."

I almost spit my coffee out when I heard Dan Snyder has hired an "independent" investigator to look into the newest unearthed Ms. Johnston allegations (hand on thigh, trying to push her into a limo)
Zero self awareness.
Are we approaching the straw that broke the camels back territory for the NFL re Snyder? This repeated egg on face has to have other owners steamming.
