How come every time I talk about Trump and the FBI, Republicans try to shift the topic to buttery males?
Is this some new fetish thing?

As you well know, they are invoking the logical fallacies known as "whataboutism" and "straw man."
Whataboutism is a type of logical fallacy that occurs when a person attempts to divert the focus away from the current issue by making a counter-accusation. It’s a specific form of the tu quoque fallacy in which someone’s claim is discredited due to alleged hypocrisy by the arguer.
A straw man fallacy occurs when someone takes another person's argument or point, distorts it or exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme distortion, as if that is really the claim the first person is making.
