Yes and no. It's not an agency that necessarily stops working when something like this happens. But of course, you know, you remove the head of the agency and his deputy very abruptly. That's a lot of experience and institutional knowledge that leaves. But really, it's the uncertainty that this creates. And again, the uncertainty.
fear in many senses that they could be next, that, you know, that this is just a very destabilizing move to do. It also, you know, raises the question of who could be bringing other people to someone like Loomer's attention, who feels like they can, you know, push certain people out.
There could be a lot of, you know, there could be either foreign adversaries or others who maybe consider Loomer a valuable person to raise these people to.
And just in general, the fact that this could be enough that claiming that you are not fully loyal to the president and that definition tends to vary day by day is enough to push out such a high level agency head is is destabilizing on its own, even though the agency, of course, will continue doing its job.
She seems to have set her sights on Earl Matthews next, who's Trump's nominee to be the Pentagon's top lawyer. And she seems to be taking issue with the fact that he was responsible, or she says he was responsible, for getting Hexeth blocked from working at Biden's inauguration because of some tattoos he has, which are tied to extremist movements.
And apparently they saw them, they told him he couldn't work the inauguration because at that time they were being very careful with anyone associated with extremist symbols. But she seems to have taken real issue with him. And whereas in the past, she used to go after people every single day on Twitter and no one seemed to pay attention.
Now everyone's really worried whenever she brings anyone up. The other noteworthy thing is that unlike the other people who Laura Loomer basically got fired, who haven't said anything, Earl Matthews posted a long response on Twitter where he kind of seemed to imply that somebody was putting her up to this. He said, you know, you have to ask yourself who benefits from this.
It's clear she thinks that this is working and she has started her own vetting agency that those are her words called Loomered Strategies. And she set up a Twitter account, which didn't really have almost any followers before the NSA news, which now seems to have gotten quite a bit of pickup.
We don't really know who her clients are, but she has a pretty prominent endorsement from President Trump himself, who says, If you're a loner, you're in deep trouble. That's the end of your career, in a sense. As if that's a verb, and it's something that she can do, which basically means investigating someone and getting them fired from their job.
When I think it's pretty clear that a lot more people in Washington are going to be very closely watching Laura Loomer's Twitter feed to see who she mentions next, because they don't want to be on the end of that. And it's clear that she's got the power to get people fired or get their nomination scuttled. And I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of that.
