Hunter Biden’s attorney is now disputing a picture that was labeled as cocaine and claiming that it was sawdust.
The picture is being used in a case against Hunter Biden, where he lied on a gun application in which he answered “No” to drug use.
See the picture here:
Sawdust doesn’t typically form in straight, divided lines, which would be perfect for snorting.
But what do I know?
The folks at Fox News share more:
The picture in question was among multiple photographs the president’s son allegedly took of his drug abuse. The Justice Department included the photos in a court filing last week to prove Hunter Biden was addicted to drugs when he answered “No” to drug use on a gun application, which is a violation of federal law.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer said one of the photos was taken in the office of his then-psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow. Ablow had received the picture, Biden’s lawyer said, from a “master carpenter” who was a “coke addict.”
The message accompanying this photo, Biden’s lawyer said in the court filing, was meant to convey to the younger Biden that he too “could overcome any addiction.”
Biden’s lawyer called the prosecution “reckless” for “making such a hyperbolic and sensational claim in a public filing,” saying the move would surely “prejudice Mr. Biden in the public eye.”
“Mistaking sawdust for cocaine sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice,” Biden’s lawyer stated in the court filing.
How ridiculous is this story?
The desperation is palpable:
“Hunter Biden prosecutors ‘mistook sawdust for cocaine’…say US president son’s lawyers”
Did they also mistake Hunter’s crack & crack pipe for ‘saw dust’, too, 🤡? https://t.co/NXgTh4wbDL pic.twitter.com/3UGxMYmJh2

Biden’s filing also references the indictment last week of Alexander Smirnov, an FBI informant who’s been charged with feeding the bureau false information about Hunter Biden and his then-presidential candidate father Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign.
“It now seems clear that the Smirnov allegations infected this case,” because the special counsel was investigating Smirnov’s allegations when their plea negotiations over gun and tax charges against Hunter Biden broke down.
“Having taken Mr. Smirnov’s bait of grand, sensational charges, the Diversion Agreement that had just been entered into and Plea Agreement that was on the verge of being finalized suddenly became inconvenient for the prosecution, and it reversed course and repudiated those Agreements,” the filing said.
This is the problem with the Smirnov information being tainted.
It lets Hunter Biden’s defense dismiss everything he has done wrong.
