Seth is wrong.
Raids come last, just before or alongside arrests.
Subpoenas for records from third parties (e.g. phone records) can be done with no disclosure.
Any cooperation deals for the powerful would be sealed, and silence made into a deal requirement.

If anyone has been questioned, they no doubt have been informed that their sharing of information about that interview would be prosecuted as interference in a federal investigation to the fullest extent of the law.
Also, Garland has already seen all the documents the House has requested from the White House, even though the House still doesn't have them.

We also know, based on past history, that while it is true that Trump and pals get noisy, they don't (always) immediately get noisy by saying "we're being spied on". Sometimes the outward signs are distractions, sudden changes in plans, random attacks on others.
And we know that Garland can investigate big cases generally with no one being the wiser until the arrest.

As for his claims later in the thread of destroyed materials, those things that could be destroyed were destroyed even before Garland became head of the DOJ. They were probably destroyed on 1/7 or 1/8.
They're already gone.
They're already gone.
I've followed Seth for a long time. Maybe this is the day he jumped the shark and maybe it isn't, but either way I'm pretty disappointed in his take here.
