Hunter Biden’s Lawyers Claim Client’s Cocaine Was ‘Sawdust’
Daily Fetched ^ | February 22, 2024 | Jason Walsh

Posted on 02/22/2024 9:02:08 AM PST by Red Badger

Hunter Biden’s lawyer hilariously claimed that their client took photographs of sawdust lines on a table, which was not cocaine, according to a recent filing.

Biden’s attorneys Attorneys Abbe Lowell, Christopher Man, and Bartholomew Dalton, claimed in Tuesday’s filing that federal prosecutors submitted false evidence to their client when they cited the photo as evidence that Hunter was actively taking drugs when he purchased a firearm in 2018.

Biden’s attorneys wrote in the brief obtained by the Daily Caller:

“The prosecution is flat out wrong—both that Mr. Biden ‘took’ this photograph and in claiming that it depicts ‘cocaine.'”

“Multiple sources have pointed out, and a review of discovery confirms, this is actually a photo of sawdust from an expert carpenter and it was sent to Mr. Biden, not vice versa.”

“More specifically, the discovery identifies this as a photo of a photo taken in the office of Mr. Biden’s then-psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, which Dr. Ablow initially received from [a] master carpenter and later texted to Mr. Biden, stating: ‘This one in my office is of lines of sawdust sent to me by a master carpenter who was a coke addict,'” Biden’s attorneys continued.

“The message accompanying that photo was meant to convey that Mr. Biden, too, could overcome any addiction. The prosecution does not provide a date for the photo, but the message from Dr. Ablow is dated November 20, 2018.”

Hunter Biden was indicted in September on three felony gun charges, which included allegations that he lied on a purchasing form about being an active drug user.

The evidence that the prosecutor gathered showed Hunter was lying.

The evidence included testimony in Hunter’s own memoir claiming he was heavily addicted to crack cocaine that year.

Prosecutors told the court in January that traces of cocaine were found on the holster of the Colt Cobra revolver he purchased.

As The Daily Fetched reported, court filing from special counsel David Weiss revealed that investigators removed the sealed Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver from a state police vault and found suspicious white powder on the pouch, which turned out to be cocaine.

According to the 52-page court filing, an FBI chemist determined that the “white powder” was indeed cocaine.

Hunter Biden has since been making theatrical moves in response to the allegations against him.

Last month, he appeared in the front row of a congressional hearing on the Biden family’s business affairs before storming out as Republicans prepared to call their first witnesses,

Instead of honoring the subpoena to testify, Hunter held a press conference where he accused Republicans of leaking naked photos of him to the press.

He also demanded that former President Donald Trump be ordered to testify about any lengths he went to interfere with the case.

Why do so many of the released photos of Hunter Biden bring up a mention of wood?

Sheesh.... Things are really getting ridiculous, excuse-wise, now that Fat Fani Willis and Wade came up with their “cash” and “emasculated black man” excuses......

Sawdust? For what possible reason. An ADMITTED ADICT.

Next thing you’ll likely see is his lawyers saying that he shouldn’t be tried or anything because they can’t violate attorney-client privilege.

So this story: Joe Biden’s Son Hunter Kicked Out of Navy for Cocaine
NBC News
Oct 16, 2014

and many others for later cocaine use,
must be based on Hunter’s work in a Navy woodshop where he stuffed some sawdust in his pockets so he wouldn’t have to mop the floors.

“Isn’t that a saw bench?”

Yeah, it does appear to be a table saw. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. This looks like a rare example of truth from Team Biden. It likely is saw dust, and someone thought it was funny that it looked like lines of coke and snapped the pic.

Dr. Ablow treats cocaine addicts?

A little too 'on the nose', to turn a phrase...

"“More specifically, the discovery identifies this as a photo of a photo taken in the office of Mr. Biden’s then-psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, which Dr. Ablow initially received from [a] master carpenter and later texted to Mr. Biden, stating: ‘This one in my office is of lines of sawdust sent to me by a master carpenter who was a coke addict,’” Biden’s attorneys continued. “The message accompanying that photo was meant to convey that Mr. Biden, too, could overcome any addiction. The prosecution does not provide a date for the photo, but the message from Dr. Ablow is dated November 20, 2018.”

I keep large bags of sawdust, use it to flux melting lead.

My saw dust looks nothing line cocaine powder. Most of it comes from my planer. A lot of it is maple.

Hunter, his dad, his uncle, probably the rest of the family; are known LIARS.

How about the little girls in his near nude photos?

Hunter is one sick dude. In a sick perverted family.

People seem to forget that attorney-client privilege is exactly that, a privilege, not a right. It can be cancelled at any time...............

TBH I tend to believe this is in fact sawdust.

My lady friend calls it "man glitter".

The image makes no sense. It's a picture of a workbench with sawdust on it. And the picture is inside a glass frame that is standing vertically?

What is the point?

Hunter snapped the photo and sent it to Dad.

"Hey Dad! Look what my friends and I made! Reminds ya of the parties we had in the White House, eh? LOL!"

So it seems. If you are sawing a block of cocaine though, that has to be a trafficking quantity with heavy mandatory federal prison time. Hunter needs better lies, which means that he needs better lawyers.

“I wonder what it’s like to snort sawdust?”

Inhalation of saw dust is one of the known causes of pulmonary fibrosis. Certain types of wood are worse than others. This is why air filtration exists in many wood working work places. Pulmonary fibrosis does kill you.
