Laura Loomer has taken so many scalps in Washington that she now seems to think she is judge, jury, and executioner. But what happens when she goes after exactly the wrong man?
Loomer is now using X to carpet-bomb Stanley Woodward, the No. 3 lawyer at the Department of Justice, because she wants him fired. Talk about a misfire.
Woodward is one of the very few lawyers in the D.C. swamp who actually fought for President Trump when Joe Biden’s weaponized lawfare machine was trying to put the greatest president in modern history behind bars for more than 700 years.
At great cost to his own career, Woodward also represented some of the president’s most trusted advisers—Dan Scavino, Walt Nauta, Kash Patel, Brian Jack, and others in Trump’s orbit. He even fought for many January 6 defendants while the white-shoe firms shut their doors and the legal establishment looked the other way.

For that temerity, Woodward will never be welcomed into the oak-paneled billing machines of the big firms. He has even been warned that taking these cases likely cost him any path to the bench.
These facts matter. Because in the age of lawfare, the lawyer is not just a lawyer. He is the trench line. He is the shield wall. He is the last barrier on the ramparts between a citizen and a government that has already decided the process is the punishment.
That is what Stanley Woodward was for Trump world in its darkest hours.
Not a cable-news peacock. Not a fair-weather friend. Not some Beltway parasite doing makeup-room hits and preening for applause. Not some social-media queen cashing in on short attention spans and a thirst for blood.
He was a real lawyer in the arena, where the subpoenas flew, the contempt traps were set, and the full coercive power of the federal government came down on anyone who would not bend the knee.
So why is Loomer going after him?
Woodward’s only apparent sin is that his wife is a liberal. So by the Loomer code, let’s burn the husband at the stake.
Stop and think about how twisted that is. When did we in America start judging people by the ideology of their spouses? Since when did marriage become a political blood test?
I know after reading this Laura will wag her sharp fingernails and poisonous tongue at me and prattle that Woodward could not keep me out of prison. Memo to Loomer: neither could have Clarence Darrow.
The Biden lawfare machine needed a fall guy, and I was it. That entire machine was aligned against me—from the January 6 Committee to the Biden FBI to the Biden Justice Department to the scumbag Judge Mehta and a woke, hostile D.C. jury.

No lawyer was going to stroll into that rigged carnival and magically produce justice from institutions built to deny it. That was never the point. The point was to fight. The point was to resist. The point was to make the Biden regime show its weaponized injustice hand and point the way to good law.
That is what I did. That is what Stanley helped me do. And as the recent Supreme Court decision vacating Steve Bannon’s conviction illustrates, my own legal battle is not yet over.
Which brings us to the real questions we should be asking about Laura Loomer.
Whose water is she carrying now? And why has she not gone after the real Biden foxes that still remain in the DOJ henhouse?
A case in point is the notorious prosecutor who helped weave the web of distortions used to put both Steve Bannon and me in prison for simply doing our constitutional duty. That same prosecutor was also up to his neck supervising much of the January 6 kangaroo-court machinery that Woodward was fighting.
That prosecutor is not only still there. He is still high up in the ranks of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Which tells you all you need to know: Laura Loomer is going after the wrong man while real enemies of true justice remain safely inside the perimeter..
