Turn it into an emblem of weak Republican men desperate to control women.
Make everyone know his name, David Nephi Johnson, make everyone know the case — and then build on it with:
*abortion bans rising women’s lives and health
*SAVE act as a covert attempt to stop many women from voting
*Protection of Epstein perpetrators, failure to release records

A video could show Trump mocking domestic violence cases ‘they say if a man has a little fight with his wife, it’s a crime’
There seems to be quite a few clouds hanging over the heads of Republican politicians.
Then rapid fire lists — Miss United States got a restraining order on GOP representative Cory Mills, Pete Hegseth payoff, Brett Kavanaugh rape allegations, support for Roy Moore
Let’s NOT forget the GOP Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert payoffs and coverup of child molestation aa wrestling coach. In fact, he was so powerful and relevant, a whole ad about him that ends with ‘some things never change’ — You can count on the GOP to give refuge to men who abuse women and children

I wish this ‘waterboarding’ case was a shock, but it isn’t.
