Eric Silverstein
Co-owner of Loomered Strategies with Laura Loomer. Long Island, NY resident who operates the anonymous X account @CcpSkipTracer. Background largely unknown — the most important unanswered question about Loomer's operation is who this person is and what credentials or intelligence community connections he may have.
The Anonymous Partner
Eric Silverstein is the other half of Loomered Strategies — the opposition research firm Laura Loomer launched in March 2025 to monetize her influence over Trump administration personnel decisions. He operates the anonymous X account @CcpSkipTracer.
His background is the single largest intelligence gap in understanding the Loomer operation. Does he have intelligence community credentials? Law enforcement experience? Private investigation licensure? The @LoomeredStrat X account follows only 5 accounts: Elon Musk, Laura Loomer, Loomer Unleashed, an election monitoring startup CEO, and CcpSkipTracer.

FEC Campaign Finance
As Candidate
No results. Eric Silverstein does not appear in the FEC candidates database.
As Payee (campaigns that paid him/his companies)
One record found:
| Paying Committee | Amount | Purpose | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scott Brown for US Senate (C00467233) | $350.00 | IN-KIND: Teleprompter Rental | 2010-01-19 |
No records found for Loomered Strategies LLC as a payee in FEC data.
As Donor
20 contributions on file spanning 1990-2020, mostly modest amounts ($180-$350):
| Recipient | Amount | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Harvey Gantt for Senate (NC) | $1,000 | 1990-10-02 |
| Scott Brown for US Senate (MA) | $350 | 2010-01-19 |
| American Podiatric Medical Assn PAC | $250 (recurring) | 2001-2006 |
| OB-GYNS for Women’s Health PAC | ~$250 | 2006 |
| America Coming Together | ~$250 | 2004 |
| ActBlue / WinRed | $180 each | Sept-Oct 2020 |
Notable: Recurring donations to the American Podiatric Medical Association PAC suggest a medical professional background (podiatry). This is inconsistent with the opposition research / intelligence profile implied by Loomered Strategies.
Caveat: “Eric Silverstein” is a common name. The FEC donor records may belong to a different individual. The Needham, MA address in the payee record does not match the known Long Island, NY location.

Research Update Summary
| Source | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FEC (candidate) | No match | Not a candidate |
| FEC (payee) | 1 hit ($350, 2010) | Teleprompter rental, Needham MA — possibly different person |
| FEC (donor) | 20 hits, 1990-2020 | Medical PAC pattern — podiatry association |
| USASpending | No match | No federal contracts for Loomered Strategies or Silverstein |
| LittleSis | No match | Not tracked in power network database |
| OpenCorporates | SKIPPED | No API key |
| Wikidata | No match | Not notable enough for Wikidata entry |
| PDL | SKIPPED | No API key |
Key finding: The FEC donor profile suggests a medical professional (podiatry), not an intelligence or political operative. Either this is a different Eric Silverstein, or Silverstein’s pivot to opposition research is recent and represents a significant career change. The Long Island vs Needham MA geographic mismatch supports the possibility of name collision.
Remaining gaps: OpenCorporates (Montana LLC registration for Loomered Strategies), PDL (LinkedIn/professional history), and state-level corporate filings remain the best leads for establishing Silverstein’s actual background.
