Conservative legal pundit and Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy delivered a scathing assessment of Team Trump’s response to this month’s FBI raid of the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate.

In addition to blasting Donald Trump himself, McCarthy went after pro-Trump commentator John Solomon, who recently published documents about the FBI's search in an attempt to damage President Joe Biden.

Solomon’s attempts completely backfired and instead highlighted that Biden declined to invoke executive privilege over the documents Trump allegedly took to Mar-a-Lago.

The document further showed that Trump and his team were given plenty of opportunities to comply but drew out the process.

"Clearly, the purport of Solomon’s news report was to bolster the Trump narrative," he wrote, adding, "but the problem is that Archivist Wall’s letter shreds Trump’s claim."

Wall’s letter proved, McCarthy wrote, that "Trump’s self-absorbed priority was to frustrate the FBI’s examination, rather than to support the government’s patent need to assess the possible damage caused by his mishandling of top-secret intelligence."

"These revelations are condemnable," he argued. "They provide a solid basis for Trump detractors to argue that the Mar-a-Lago search, though stunning and unprecedented, was justified — or at least not unreasonable."

McCarthy concluded his piece by dropping the hammer on Team Trump: “If you are trying not to get indicted, the best defense is usually not a good offense. And it is never an offense that backfires.”

Bob Nutting, CEO of Ogden Newspapers and owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, essentially ruined 141-year-old Colorado newspaper the Aspen Times.

Andrew Travers,the former editor of The Aspen Times, called Nutting out in a scathing column about his recent purchase of the paper, noting that Aspen’s journalists were once regarded as "watchdogs and chroniclers of one of the richest towns in America."

"The paper, which was based for much of its history in a purple-painted building between a drugstore and the Hotel Jerome, developed a reputation for shoe-leather reporting and accountability journalism," he wrote.

Nutting, however, introduced a new leadership team at the Times following Ogden's acquisition of the paper -- altering the relationship between Aspen's media and the city's elite.

Ogden has censored and spiked multiple columns and reports on Vladislav Doronin, a U.S.S.R.-born real estate developer who had purchased nearly one acre of Aspen Mountain for $76 million.

Managing editor Rick Carroll began looking into Doronin’s connections to Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine, explicitly referring to him as an "oligarch" in his reporting.

Doronin filed a defamation suit against the paper, and instead of covering it, Ogden ensured the Times ignored it, as well as Doronin, altogether.

The censorship move prompted several resignations and firings -- and completely demoralized the previously celebrated local paper.
