How is this a strawman argument?

Because I’m not dismissing the whole thing. That notion is being conjured and argued against (a strawman argument). I specifically said he should be investigated and prosecuted. It’s the pre-5yo part that weakens the case and should be dropped, and we shouldn’t pussyfoot around that if we want a solid case (a judicial one and in the court of public opinion).

I agree with your reasoning. Personally I would describe it as being a weak case rather than a strawman which usually involves misrepresentation.
