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.

      They could have said it was heroin… cause that can be brown but no, they say cocaine which is clearly wrong.

        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, atheists Democrats.
