Biden Flip Flop – FERC’s Phillips Still Just “Acting” Chairman

Willie Phillips - Still Just "Acting" Chairman of FERC
It seems that the Bidenistas at the White House are keeping Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Willie Phillips on a VERY short chain. Phillips was named "Acting" Chairman of FERC in January when Richard "Dick" Glick exited stage left (see Willie Phillips Takes Over as Acting FERC Chairman, Dick Glick Gone). For more than eight months, FERC could not produce the documentation to confirm Phillips' appointment as Acting Chairman. Finally, under threat of a lawsuit and a court order from the Institute for Energy Research (IER), FERC (or rather the White House) produced a short one-page letter signed by Biden that says Phillips is full-blown Chairman, with no "Acting" in the title (see Turns Out Willie Phillips Isn’t Just Acting – He’s FERC Chairman). But now the White House has flip-flopped and said no, Phillips is just Acting Chairman after all.
