n what promises to be the latest version of an unreasonable and largely pointless pissing match between Congress and the White House, the House and Senate have sent document requests to find out just how much pressure the White House put on the FCC over net neutrality rules.
Wheeler has also refused to make the rules public before they are approved, ignoring requests from Congress and two of his own FCC Commissioners.
The FCC is supposed to be an independent regulatory body - something that both Obama and Wheeler repeatedly acknowledged in the past few months. But Wheeler is a close political ally to Obama, having been one of the first serious names to get involved in his election campaign in 2008, and owes his current position to the president.
