Glenn Beck Claims Philip Haney ‘Wore Thumb Drive’ Around Neck ‘I’d Slap Him On The Chest, He Knew What That Meant’

WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — Glenn Beck said on Monday, whistleblower Philip Haney, the founding member of the DHS who was found shot dead last Wednesday in what officials deemed a suicide, wore a thumb drive around his neck containing “classified documents.”

Haney, who appeared multiple times on the Glenn Beck Program, was a whistleblower credited by many on the right for attempting to expose corruption during the prior administration.

Beck, speaking in a Youtube video said, he “strongly” believes Haney was murdered:

“I’d like to ask the police that found his [Haney] body, and deemed it a suicide, if he had a thumb drive around his neck,” Beck said during the roughly 7-minute video.

“When I saw Phil, I’d hug him, and I’d slap him on the chest, he knew what that meant. I was feeling the thumb drive,” beck said.

The whistleblower was found shot dead near his vehicle in California, reports TheGatewayPundit.

Haney studied Arabic culture and language while working as a scientist in the Middle East before becoming a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 as a Customs & Border Protection agriculture officer. After advancing to an armed CBP officer where he served several tours of duty at the National Targeting Center near Washington, DC, he was quickly was promoted to its Advanced Targeting Team, an unprecedented accomplishment for an agent on temporary duty assignment. Officer Haney won numerous awards and commendations from his superiors for meticulously compiling information and producing actionable reports that led to the identification of hundreds of terrorists. He has specialized in Islamic theology and the strategy and tactics of the global Islamic movement. He retired in July 2015, reports Coast to Coast AM.
