Compare the original vs. the edited versions, and note how the person who created that claim really pumped the image saturation and the highlights through the roof in order to create that impression.
I'm honestly not up on this stuff. But can you, for example, take a picture of a roll of toilet paper and make it look shiny by saturating the color?
It just seems like one of those "Occam's Razor" situations, where there's either a baggie and a coke spoon on the table that everyone is trying to hide, or there's a wad of paper and something else(?) that people are still trying to hide. These guys were visiting Coke-slinger Zelensky also, right?

I want to just write this all out in plain language, and have you tell me if I've got it correct.
We have here two photographs depicting similar content.
One of them shows two white objects on a brown table, next to an etched glass. In this photo, the histogram has a normal distribution, and the lighting and composition are ordinary and unremarkable. It is claimed that one of the objects on the table is a tissue.
The other photo shows what appear to be the same two white objects, sitting on a table which appears reddish-orange. The histogram shows extremely unnatural saturation and color distribution, clearly indicating heavy post-processing. It is claimed that the aforementioned object on the table is a bag of cocaine.
Occam's Razor, in a nutshell, tells us that, of two competing theories, the simpler one should be preferred.
You are asserting that "the obviously photoshopped image is the real one" is the simplest explanation here?

I'm saying it was a baggie whose picture had to be saturated to show it was shiny, not a snot rag. It also left the obvious picture saturation to say "I'm not hiding anything."
f someone wanted to make a snot rag shiny but not saturate the picture, I ASSume that's not only possible, but probably easy.
But the picture was saturated to show that it's shiny. But then we've got a coke spoon too. Coincidence? Parts of a tea service? A mini mini pen for signing official contracts? A tie clip? Nope.
Do you NOT think this is within the realm of possibilities, especially given the host?
That looks like a regular spoon which would be fairly large for doing nose drugs. The incriminating part of the video is how they reacted. Why hide the spoon? I can see pocketing a tissue, but not the spoon and they both looked nervous. I guess coke will do that to you.

THAT looks like a regular spoon? Catfish much? And yes, hiding a "regular" spoon would be a big part of the Occam's Razor equation.
Let's face it; we're part of a Kakistocracy where you're expected to screw up, take illicit money, lie, and be horribly inefficient. The only time you really get riled up is when someone competent shows up and asks questions.
Will anyone ever be held accountable? For anything? Can we get a ruling on JFK, even if the real perp is already worm food?
Dammit they’re doing coke. Us regular people have no fun. They probably also have a bunch of super hot strippers that they party with and it’s all paid for by the citizens.
I watched the video again, but the one I found was from the bbc and they say it’s a tissue and a regular coffee stirrer.

It goes back to the beginning didn't we get into a war because of Hearst's newspaper lying? Unfortunately, the current ratio is probably 10 lies to 1 truth.

The Gubmint had already pre-determined that Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon were gonna die. Can you imagine having meeting with 12 people over this? Assembling a SWAT team in advance of picking up Peanut and Fred?
