Former DOJ Officials Break Silence on Kiernan Major Case
Through a swarm of vehicle and body doubles, elaborate disguises, sophisticated misdirection, and all-around flawless tradecraft, two senior U.S. Justice Department officials out of the Washington D.C. office met with our investigative team in a Los Angeles area home to blow the whistle on what they called "one of the most dishonest and disgraceful" cases they had ever reviewed. Our four-hour interview still feels as though it was much stranger than fiction—surrounded ostensibly by hundreds of security personnel who blocked all traffic to and from the property and implemented a stunning variety of physical and technical expertise to draw attention of potential emergency personnel and bystanders elsewhere, our team was in total awe of the immense and rather imposing capabilities of this security team. We often were unable to even focus on the interviews as we struggled to grasp whether this was reality or possibly figment of our imagination. In spite of our childish fascination, our team was able to gather a fresh and highly credible perspective that raises grave concerns about the 2022 federal indictment of Kiernan Major and many of those allegedly involved in it.

The frame was dark wood, carved with strange patterns that looked almost like twisted vines or claw marks.
