The mix-up "sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980’s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution,” Biden’s attorney wrote.
Federal prosecutors mistakenly claimed in a court filing that a photo of sawdust they found while searching Hunter Biden’s electronics was cocaine, attorneys for the president’s son said Tuesday.
The sawdust picture was used in a court filing detailing incriminating information that prosecutors said they turned up while executing a search warrant of Biden’s laptop and electronics, but his legal team said in court papers that the picture was sent to their client by his then-psychiatrist as inspiration.
The picture shows three lines of yellow dust on a piece of wood near some other dust. The psychiatrist sent the picture to Biden in 2018, saying it was "lines of sawdust sent to me by a master carpenter who was a coke addict.”
Biden’s attorneys said the message and picture were “meant to convey that Mr. Biden, too, could overcome any addiction” and used the apparent mix-up to mock prosecutors.
The picture from the article.
Yes, that’s a table saw in the mirror. (Edit: or is that a picture frame? Whatever the picture has a table saw.)
Do those prosecutors think cocaine is light brown?
Considering the anti-drug propaganda they send to schools? Quite possibly.
Well, everyone knows cocaine is made from cacao beans!
/s
Maybe by the time they get some it is
Maybe the really good stuff that they use is brown. Us plebs just get the white shit.
They could have said it was heroin… cause that can be brown but no, they say cocaine which is clearly wrong.
It could be tainted, I suppose
In all my partying I’ve never once snorted brown coke.
To get back to the warning that I’ve received, you might take it with however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It’s suggested that you do stay away from that. Of course it’s your own trip, so be my guest. But be advised that there is a warning on that, okay?

I’ve never done coke. Or even weed (never been interested.)
Even I would know that’s not gonna be a fun time. If I saw someone doing that, I’d be assuming their somewhere near rock-bottom and falling fast.
To be fair, the warm lighting in the pic isn’t doing it any favors.
This is true, but the “powder” is the exact color and consistency of if the sawdust under the saw.
Did they think Hunter set up 3 lines of very chunky, brown cocaine up on a table saw, then just dumped fucking kilos more on the saw and floor for funsies?
Well yea, what better place to hide it than in plain sight?! No one would even suspect it.
Hell, mix in a little sawdust for the perfect cover. Did anyone test that sawdust for cocaine content?! A-ha! Check mate,
atheistsDemocrats.
Just saw a clip on Kimmel of Hannity after the sawdust thing came out still insisting that it is cocaine. Because “it’s arranged in perfect little lines.”
He actually asks, “does that look like sawdust to you?”
That’s how much they gaslight.
And it looks like sawdust. Damn that is dense.
If I were a prosecutor, I’d be pressing that question too – not a hard question to ask in the context of everything else on that laptop: admissions of smoking crack, videos of smoking crack while speeding etc.
Sorry… you still think that isn’t sawdust?
Have you ever seen cocaine? Even in a movie? How about that prosecutor?
Do you know what prosecutors do?
According to you, they ludicrously try to suggest a picture of what is obviously sawdust on a saw is cocaine. Because that is sure to win them their case.
And that’s why you’re not a prosecutor, just like those guys are just about to not be. And that’s not a joke, a mistake like this and your career is done. Who the fuck’s gonna want the sawdust cocaine guys
You do realize part of their job is to instill doubt, right? It’s not a mistake to push a narrative in a trial.
That’s kind of a cleverly composed photo actually…
Damn, as a woodworker I can’t tell you how many times we used to be talking or messing around in the shop and mindlessly making little lines of sawdust as if it was cocaine. None of us did cocaine, its just what you do when you have a large pile of dust in front of you.
I’m not even a woodworker and I did that with sawdust back in middle school industrial arts class. Like you said, it’s sort of a natural thing to do. Humans like organizing things, even if they aren’t actually able to be organized.
This while amusing is a scary look at the current FBI and Federal LE’s ability to pursue groundless action.
Hunter Biden and editorialising Joe Biden’s mental state, the highly ambiguous statement on Hillary Clinton’s emails - all under the roof of a Dem Executive.
Not to mention the shitty work done by Mueller - what a god damn hack job that was
Dems need to get it in their heads that LE needs a good wash through and needs a clean up. Having a “middle ground” DOJ and heads of LE is just going to get them and the country in deep shit and it will be too late.
Definitely. In an attempt to appear impartial, they end up going completely overboard and overcharging for things that no normal citizen would be charged for.
Also kinda strange that apparently only republicans can be appointed as a special counsel. Dems will only ever appoint republicans as special counsels because they’re too concerned about appearances, and republicans will only ever appoint republicans as special counsels because they couldn’t care less about appearances and know that there won’t be pushback, because dems are too concerned about appearances. It’s insanely frustrating.
If we’ve learned anything from the likes of Aileen Cannon, Matthew Kacsmaryk, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, it’s that actual impartiality is and never has been the goal. It’s about exercising and expanding their own personal power over others, against the wishes of the vast majority of the electorate.
Dems need to start acting like the consequences of this shit are real, stop equivocating about appearances and start using the power the people gave them.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is a photo of the accused butt crack. This definitely proves that he is addicted to crack cocaine.”
When are we going to rid ourselves of these russian agents? Have we not suffered enough damage at their hands?
Those are balls.
Just wait until they get to the bag of oregano.
ACAB – Especially Feds.
That it’s a picture of sawdust, that he not even took himself, makes this one funny, but even if it was a picture of an actual white powder that might have been actual cocaine, how could that picture be considered as evidence of substance abuse?
There’s bound to be loads of pictures of white powders in a line around. There’s also probably loads of people who made flour lines in the kitchen and then send a funny pose to their friends. Harmless fun, until there’s a witch hunt out for you apparently. Just having such a picture on your phone is in itself proof of nothing, there needs to be more.

Yeah, he was just snorting sawdust off that stripper’s back.
Dude still wrote an autobiography about how he was smoking a bunch of crack during the time he bought the gun.
Like, he snitched on himself.
I don’t understand why this being sawdust is so newsworthy it keeps getting reposted
- The picture clearly is a sawdust though on a carpentry machine with plenty of it on the floor as well
- I don’t think autobiography can be used as evidence as generally everyone bends truth a little to make the book more interesting. It is not a sworn statement
I’m smokin crack right now, buy my book.
I’m smoking crack too. Buy this guys book.
A music video was used as evidence.
Wasn’t that because it showed the rapper knew things that weren’t public about the murder so likely was the killer?
Yeah, obviously that one was.
But more importantly it was a picture sent to him, he didn’t take it. And the context is the person who sent it was a medical professional helping him with addiction.
That’s what I mean.
There is a shit ton of other evidence, hell, there’s pictures of him literally smoking crack.
And he has been incredibly public about his crack addiction.

During which he bought at least one gun.
Why the fuck is everyone acting like there’s a single chance he won’t be found guilty except his access to some of the best lawyers and media connections in America?
He broke federal gun laws. It’s pretty clear cut that he deserves the same punishment as anyone else.
No one is disputing the crime. Providing fake evidence and telling everyone to accept it is nonsense.
I smoked all the meth in Dallas and murdered 12 hookers!
Now the cops have all the proof they need to put me in prison.
Well, you’re a Republican shill, and it takes more than a pair of brain cells to understand.
He simply summarized what was admitted in an autobiography. How does that make him a shill?
