Philip Bump: Sean Hannity, forced to pick between federal prosecutors or a Biden, picked the feds. Or, more compellingly: How a photo of sawdust led Fox News to another own goal.

Analysis | Sean Hannity and the case of the sawdust ‘cocaine’www.washingtonpost.com Forced to pick between the feds and a Biden, the Fox News host chooses the feds

The photo that Hannity suggests was taken by Hunter Biden depicting cocaine was, in fact and as alleged, a photo owned by Keith Ablow. I found it in a 2020 video Ablow posted. It's there on the mantel.

Ablow is a great name for a guy who takes pictures of cocaine.

Also an acceptable name for a guy who didn't take the picture of the stuff that's not cocaine

I'm so confused. He took a photo of a table saw with some (jokingly arranged?) lines of sawdust on it. Hen he printed it out, framed it, and put it on his mantel? That's really weird.

*then he printed...

The article perfectly explains the photo and why Ablow has it. From a former client who was a carpenter but also a cocaine addict. This was the carpenter's way of telling Ablow he chose his art over the drug. Pretty cool!

Right. I saw Phil’s second post with the pic before the first with the link and responded too quick. My bad.

Hannity is a complete putz.

No. Read the article!

Damn it. Lept before I looked. Sorry.

With a name like "Ablow" it's only natural Hannity would assume he deals coke

Wow good get!

Whatever happened to the White House tour visitor who left their cocaine? 😂

Is it really an own goal, though? There's no reason to believe that it's an inadvertent mistake rather than typical Fox propaganda.
