Yes, it looks precisely like sawdust. Unless somebody was cutting brown blocks of cocaine on that table saw.

More to the point, this picture ain’t exactly kiddie porn. I know Hunter has filed a pleading pointing out this is sawdust, and it’s a picture that was sent to him. But since when is possession of a picture of cocaine, a criminal offense? Or even remarkable?*

It doesn't change the four fundamental facts," Jordan told Raju outside the U.S. Capitol. "Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma, gets paid $1 million a year. Fact No. 2, he's not qualified to be on the board — he said so himself in an interview, I don't know, with you or some network. Fact No. 3, [Mykola] Zlochevsky and [Vadym] Pozharsky, the two executives at Burisma, specifically asked Hunter Biden, 'Can you weigh in with D.C. and help us deal with the pressure we are facing from the prosecutor?' Fact No. 4, Joe Biden, then he gets called, Hunter Biden calls his dad, according to Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's business partner. Joe Biden then goes to Ukraine three days later and conditions the release of the money, American tax money, on the firing of the prosecutor who was applying the pressure to the company that Hunter Biden sat on the board of." 
In fact, multiple State Department witnesses, including former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, have testified that official U.S. policy called for the removal of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, whose deputy has said their office was not investigating Burisma at that time, and a Senate investigation found no evidence that Hunter Biden's board position influenced American policy. 
"You said the 1023 [report] is the most corroborating piece of information you had," Raju said to Jordan, referring to an FBI report containing Smirnov's false claims about Hunter Biden that GOP lawmakers hyped last year. 
"It corroborates," Jordan said, "but it doesn't change those fundamental facts."
Really? Seems like the Committee thinks it does.
In many letters requesting interviews before the respective committees, Republicans claimed, “According to this confidential human source, who has been described as ‘highly credible,’ Burisma executives hired Hunter Biden to ‘protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.’” 
That language has now disappeared.
Sure sounds like even Republicans think they got nuthin’.


*I’m still seeing otherwise reasonable people argue Fani Willis shot her case in the foot by dating a lawyer she hired to help on the Trump case, even as they acknowledge it doesn’t even present the appearance of impropriety under the law. As if defendants like Roman wouldn’t conjure a claim out of thin air. Which, in fact, he did. Really got to stop doing people’s work for them, and expecting everybody but you to be purer than the Virgin Mary and holier than the Pope, and always tut-tutting when they aren’t.

Of course, Hunter Biden’s situation proves the press doesn’t really deal in “innocent until proven guilty.,” even as they scrupulously use the adjective “alleged.” Hunter is only now innocent, because the evidence against him is conclusively false. Nothing the press loves more than to look assiduously for the fire whenever someone alleges (hem hem) smoke.💨  Only now are journalists beginning to admit that HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP! 💻 was not only not a laptop (just a hard drive), but that it was a put-up job. Which was obvious to any sentient human being after about 30 seconds. That story always had more holes than a rotted piece of cheesecloth. But now that Giuliani’s an adjudicated liar and Smirnov has confessed he’s been spreading Russian lies…I guess it’s okay to state the obvious?

I’ll retire to Bedlam.
