Haney, in an interview Thursday night with the Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly, said that about a year into their investigation, the Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the State Department shut down his efforts for fear of profiling Muslims.
The kicker is this: The monitoring could have prevented the recent San Bernardino, California, terror attack committed by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, he said.
In addition to shuttering the program, Haney said feds destroyed 67 of his team's records. He noted that a Southern California mosque that Farook attended is part of the movement his team was watching.
"[These records] may have thwarted last week's attack," Haney said told Kelly.
He went on: "Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because [of] association with the mosque, and/or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his association with a known [terror-tied] organization."
Haney said he tried to notify Congress and the inspector general of the details surrounding his shuttered program, but his bosses retaliated against his whistleblowing and pulled his security clearance.
Homeland Security issued a brief response to Haney's claims, telling Fox News his story had holes while offering no details. Federal officials had previously awarded Haney a commendation letter for identifying 300 suspected terrorists.

It made me laugh :-).
Was thinking about this last night......
What is the tax status of these mosques?
Churches that get into politics are supposed to lose their exempt status.
Since Islam is a Theocratic religion/political order every mosque should not be tax exempt.
I think that is Loretta Lynch. I wonder if Val J is out of the photos image but in the background.
When I read “Haney” at the beginning, I somehow immediately thought that the article was referring to Ted Cruz because I’ve been seeing a lot of postings that call Cruz “Mr. Haney” from Green Acres. LOL
I’m glad someone else realizes the import of this.
Shutting down an intel operation is a little bit more direct than the ClockMed propaganda.
