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.

    He broke federal gun laws. It’s pretty clear cut that he deserves the same punishment as anyone else.

    You should tell republicans that because they’re absolutely not interested in Hunter getting “the same punishment as anyone else”.

      When I tell Republicans that they call me a stupid liberal.

      When I tell Dems Hunter should be, I get called a stupid conservative.

      When I say everyone that smokes weed and owns a gun is breaking this same law and we need to fix our legal system. It’s just crickets

      No one in power wants to fix it, they just want to use the laws only against people they disagree with. Maybe if Hunter just smoked weed Biden would finally legalize it.

      It just sucks when both political parties want shitty laws that only their enemies are held to
