Amador County Sheriff and coroner Gary W. Redman published a press release Wednesday stating that the violent death of founding member of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and whistleblower Philip Haney was ruled a suicide.
The Amador County Sheriff’s office immediately brought in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who they thanked in the press release.
Phil Haney exposed the Obama administration for purging records related to the Muslim Brotherhood. Three months before his death, Haney sent a text to the Washington Examiner about his book “National Security Meltdown”, which was to be published in Spring of 2020, as a sequel to his book “See Something, Say Nothing, which was published in May of 2016.
Haney was found dead outside of his vehicle with a gunshot wound to his chest on February 21, 2020. Numerous friends and family of the deceased have stated that Haney, a devout Christian, stressed that he would never take his own life. Two of his friends, Pastor Cary Gordon and film director Judd Saul confirmed similar conversations exclusively with RAIR Foundation USA.

Evidently, Mr. Haney left a suicide note on his dashboard that the FBI determined that he signed. There was no previous reporting of a suicide note, and the press release does not say that the note was written by Phil Haney, just “signed”:
A forensic handwriting analysis was performed by the FBI and the suicide note was found to have been signed by Mr. Haney.
The press release notes that Haney gave his potted plants to his neighbor, presumably in anticipation of his suicide, but he left his sensitive documents, including thumb drives and his laptop behind.
The thumb drives and laptop were deemed to be ‘Contraband’ and have been confiscated by the federal government.
The FBI indicated many documents found are the property of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On January 24, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office received a request from the CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility requesting to take possession of ‘Contraband’ documents belonging to CBP on three thumb drives and a personal laptop.
Sharia Law is a National Security Threat
Watch this powerful speech by Phil Haney, where he outlines his history, and the national security threat of Sharia law, which was dismissed by the Obama administration:
Author and filmmaker Trevor Loudon was scheduled to go on a tour with Phil Haney shortly after his death in April, 2020. Loudon told RAIR that he hopes Mr. Haney’s family can gain closure, but questioned why it took two years to rule Phil Haney’s death a suicide.

SHERIFF – CORONER
MEDIA RELEASE
On February 21, 2020, the Amador County Sheriff’s Office responded to a deceased individual located in an open park and ride area on State Highway 124, immediately adjacent to State Highway 16. Highway 16 is a busy state highway and is utilized as a main travel route between Amador County and Sacramento. The Sheriff’s Office identified the decedent as Philip Bruce Haney, who was living in his motorhome less than three miles from where his body was located.
Investigators from the Amador County Sheriff’s Office responded and assisted the patrol personnel who were already on scene. Investigators discovered Mr. Haney’s vehicle parked next to his body, a folding chair he appeared to collapse from, a suicide note on the dashboard of the vehicle, and a loaded .40 caliber Sig Sauer handgun with one spent shell casing near the gun.
Investigators discovered what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the upper chest area of Mr. Haney. Investigators collected the evidence at the scene and responded to Mr. Haney’s motorhome in the 49er RV Park in Plymouth, CA. Investigators entered the motorhome and discovered it was clean and well-organized. Investigators found personal and financial paperwork arranged neatly on the kitchen countertop, some containing instructions for how Mr. Haney wanted his assets dispersed.
While on scene, Investigators spoke with Mr. Haney’s neighbor who told them Mr. Haney appeared depressed lately and gave him his potted plants the day before, which was the last time he saw him. Mr. Haney’s motorhome and vehicle were towed to our evidence storage area and we requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Crime Scene Unit process both and gather evidence. The FBI responded on February 27, 2020, and assisted in this process, gathering numerous pieces of evidence to be processed by their laboratories.
On February 26, 2020, a forensic autopsy was completed by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office. The cause of death was determined to be a “Perforating gunshot wound of torso.” The forensic autopsy did not reveal any other suspicious trauma or antemortem injuries which would suggest Mr. Haney was involved in any type of altercation.
On April 3, 2020, numerous thumb drives and a laptop that were recovered from the motorhome were given to the FBI for forensic analysis.
On July 22, 2020, the Sheriff’s Office received the results of the unregistered firearm trace report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives related to the handgun that was found on scene. Our investigators were able to contact the last registered owner of the firearm in Georgia. The registered owner informed investigators he was a friend of Mr. Haney’s and had sold the firearm to him approximately five years prior.
On August 6, 2020, we collected DNA samples from the investigators and staff involved with collecting evidence in this case. These samples were sent to the FBI for cross reference and elimination purposes. The FBI lab in Quantico, VA, processed all of the forensic and DNA evidence.
On September 30, 2021, our office received the final report/explanation of all DNA results produced by the FBI lab. The FBI then started a secondary digital examination of the thumb drives and laptop that were collected. A forensic handwriting analysis was performed by the FBI and the suicide note was found to have been signed by Mr. Haney.
On January 3, 2022, we received the final review report from the FBI on the documents contained on the thumb drives and laptop. The FBI indicated many documents found are the property of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On January 24, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office received a request from the CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility requesting to take possession of “Contraband” documents belonging to CBP on three thumb drives and a personal laptop.
On January 25, 2022, all of the evidence collected and processed by the FBI was returned to our office, reviewed, and entered into our report.
On February 8, 2022, the thumb drives and laptop containing the contraband documents were turned over to CBP for their investigation into violations of CBP policy and numerous United States Codes.
After a thorough review of the evidence collected and processed by the Sheriff’s Office and FBI, the Sheriff’s Office has determined the manner of Mr. Haney’s death to be suicide. The Sheriff would like to thank the FBI for their assistance in Mr. Haney’s death investigation.
Mr. Haney’s next-of-kin has been notified of our determination and we extend our condolences to his family and friends for their loss. Based upon the final determination into the manner and cause of death in this investigation, this case has been classified as closed.

Believe nothing which the FJB, the puzzle house, and its agencies/affiliates puts forth in print or on air. Unstable and not to be trusted.
The corrupt FBI needs to be dismantled. It cannot be fixed.
The Clinton’s perfected it and the US feral government adopted it,
Arkancide…
Fbi should be changed to fbl ! Federal bureau of lies!
The FIB .
Is horribly corrupt.
The Clinton’s strike again?
Who shoots themselves in the chest? Why did he go outside next to his car instead of doing it in the house? And he didn’t write the suicide note, just “signed” it? He was murdered.
He was just about to go back to a job he loved, vindicated and with with a promotion a high level with the support of the President.
Needed to rush in the FBI for the cover up. Why would you step outside of your vehicle to shoot yourself?
I noticed last week there was an article on another site questioning why, on the two year anniversary of his death, that there was no resolution, no investigation, and that the relevant evidence, laptop and thumb drives, had not been returned to the Sherrifs’ office investigating his death.
An almost immediate response to that article, “nothing to see here, move along.”
The declaration of the laptop and thumb drives as “contraband” is also questionable, as this term of art refers to an item or product illegal in and of itself, not a legal property stolen or illegally possessed, which are covered by other laws.

It took them 2 years to come up with that lie? That’s the FBLie for you.
What about the FBI agent who was “offed” shortly after beginning his investigation of this death?
Believe nothing which the FJB, the puzzle house, and its agencies/affiliates puts forth in print or on air. Unstable and not to be trusted
Sharing this video with the my part of the world. ‘Giving opens up the way for receiving. The gift must be given with Love & cheerfulness.’ I feel this gentleman Loved what he did and Loved who he became & frankly a badass. Listening to him speak with great poise and understanding, I KNOW he gave his life work with Love. And I’m only imagining the cheerfulness always came and always with a humble heart. What an incredible teacher explaining a-z. He knew the enemy & he will continue to teach us about the darkness so that as long as we can breath, we can fight to the end as he did. WOW! I am enlightened and I’m going to shine some history truth to the masses; telegraph, telephone, tell Diana, tell the world……LOVE WINS!!!!!!
Bs! Fbi are guilty for this murder! Smells like clintons crew!
Clearly, the FBI and the “INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY” have now changed the story and are more entrenched in covering their tracks!!! This time, the FBI waited a few years for people to forget. How convenient! Upon reading this story, I noticed IT CHANGED from the original story narrative. Those familiar and who are concerned about Philip Haney and his death know that he in no way would suicide himself. Consider WHO he was reporting on, their vast corruption and resources (including close relationships with individuals within the American Intelligence Agencies available for FAVORS). THERE is your answer on how Phil Haney died.
Somewhere I have the original story in print. Now to find it.
Wonder how long it will take them to rule the bombing of the deal/kemp kid a suicide. Defund them all. Waste of time and money.
