Philip Haney, a former Homeland Security Department official during the Obama administration who blew the whistle on his own agency, was found dead Friday with a gunshot wound about 40 miles east of Sacramento, California.

The Amador County Sheriff's office confirmed to the Washington Examiner that deputies and detectives responded to reports Friday morning at 10:12 a.m. of a male subject on the ground with a gunshot wound in the area of Highway 124 and Highway 16 in Plymouth, California.

"Upon their arrival, they located and identified 66-year-old Philip Haney, who was deceased and appeared to have suffered a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound. A firearm was located next to Haney and his vehicle. This investigation is active and ongoing. No further details will be released at this time," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

The Amador County Sheriff's office would not respond to any further questions.

According to sources close to Haney, he was recently in contact with top officials about returning to work for the DHS. Additionally, Haney was engaged to be married.

As a whistleblower, Haney testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2016 that DHS ordered him to delete hundreds of files of people with ties to Islamist terrorist groups, arguing several terrorist attacks against people in the United States could have been prevented if certain files had not been scrubbed.

“It is very plausible that one or more of the subsequent terror attacks on the homeland could have been prevented if more subject matter experts in the Department of Homeland Security had been allowed to do our jobs back in late 2009,” Haney wrote in an opinion piece for the Hill in February 2016. “It is demoralizing — and infuriating — that today, those elusive dots are even harder to find, and harder to connect, than they were during the winter of 2009.”

Republicans on Capitol Hill questioned former President Barack Obama's homeland security secretary, Jeh Johnson, about Haney’s allegations.

"Was Mr. Haney's testimony that the Department of Homeland Security order over 800 documents ... altered or deleted accurate?" Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, asked Johnson, who bristled at the question.

"I have no idea. I don't know who Mr. Haney is. I wouldn't know him if he walked into the room," he said.

The Washington Examiner received a text message from Haney on Nov. 11 which mentioned plans to write a sequel to his first book, See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad, which described his experience at DHS.

"Odd (surreal reality) that I was a highly visible whistleblower ... that virtually no one listened to, while this guy remains invisible, but is treated like an anointed oracle from above," Haney said in the Nov. 11 text, referring to alleged Ukraine whistleblower Eric Ciaramella. "However, my story is still live, i.e., there's still more to come. It'll be called 'National Security Meltdown.'"

Haney added, "I have a severely hyper-organized archive of everything that's happened since See Something, Say Nothing (SSSN) was published in May of 2016. The National Security Meltdown sequel will pick up right where SSSN left off. My intention is to have it ready by early-to mid-Spring of 2020 (just before the political sound wave hits), then ride that wave all the way to the Nov. elections."

Obamacide is apparently as real as Clintoncide.

Blagojevich's health and well-being may also be in jeopardy.

Well he was stopped right before his projected publication. My take on it is that some Democrats did not want his information coming out before the elections. Might have little to do with vindictiveness.

So I am guessing that someone followed him, got him to pull over. Then shot him and left a pistol. No one commits suicide while out on a drive and is engaged to get married.

And it's California, so nothing will happen.

Well of course the implication is that he was "suicided"... Dons tin-foil hat...

Was a GSR done on the deceased? If not, why not?


I was paid $7.54/HR to go into harm's way so you didn't have to.

I know, but I'm a pessimist. How can one be optimistic expecting a corrupt government justice system to do right ?

Philip Haney, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official during the Obama administration who blew the whistle on shortcomings within his own agency, was found dead in California on Friday with a “gunshot wound” to the chest, several news outlets report, citing a statement from the law enforcement.

Although authorities have said the gunshot wound “appears” to be “self-inflicted,” stressing that the investigation is ongoing, 66-year-old Haney had been missing since February 19. and died from a gunshot wound to his chest two days later, Red State and Heavy reported.

Gunshot wounds to the chest are uncommon in the case of suicides, data reportedly show. Haney’s death has triggered a wave of claims suggesting he may have been a victim of foul play.

Echoing some of the whistleblower’s friends, a number of senior congressional officials have expressed alarm to Breitbart News about this, noting that they do no believe Haney was suicidal.

Apparently, when one stares into the "deep state" long enough, and sees it is so overwhelming, suicide becomes the only option. Wink

The bass player for the California punk band Pennywise shot himself in the chest. You don’t often hear about people blasting themselves in the chest to commit suicide....seems like a painful way to go.

Typically what women do when the choice of suicide is by firearm. We had a female do it in December. She was kind enough to do it just before Christmas in a wildlife preserve while her juvenile daughter was home. Just yesterday we had a male do it in a park. Both were conscious when found and both appeared to be in pain. Both died not long after being discovered. We've been told females use the chest shot to preserve their appearance for the viewing.

Don't let the news get you down, the whole gov't Justice Dept. isn't corrupt, it's made up of people and many among them are true patriots. It's a big ship, it takes time to change direction, and PDJT has done a lot to get it going in a better direction.

Editing a statement and adding a comment to imply it said or means something different that what was actually stated is something we expect to see on CNN. Just seemed a little to far into the dark end of the gray and below the line for me, and for the tone I think I usually find here. Maybe a good drain the swamp thread in What's Your Deal would be a better place for this?

The owner here doesn't seem to like too much tinfoil and negativity, among other things, and I'd like to see this thread stay around for a while, or at least until this thing starts to make sense, and being able to come here where we help us sort through and understand the half truths and miss-information the mainstream media and deep state interests are peddling is where I visit to find much of my optimism.

just my thoughts, not trying to start an dispute.

There was a kid who did that back in high school. Apparently, his dad was really tough/strict and the kid had received a speeding ticket. He didn't want to face the wrath of his father so he put a .30-06 rifle to his chest and pulled the trigger. I have no idea if he died instantly of if he lived for a few seconds or a few minutes. It just seemed like a painful way to go.

It was such a shame. He was a really nice guy.
