Theoretically.
In practice, all it takes is a big enough campaign contributor whining in the right ear.
Politicians are plenty cheap to buy and once market share gets big enough, anything short of the company committing suicide is bound to offend somebody, so finding enough complaints to justify an inquisition is trivial.
Just look at how much flack they are getting at 30% total book market share. Now, imagine what it would be like if Nook folded and Kobo withdrew, leaving then at over half the total book market.
