I saw nowhere in the rules that said we cannot defend our leaders by comparing them to your favorite leaders. It is perfectly ok to do that.

Whataboutism is two-fold
It's illegitimate when discussing the substance of the matter. Politician A's policy sucks and in defense of the policy, you cite Politician B's shitty policy.
It is legitimate when discussing principles and hypocrisy. A person rallies for Trump's tax returns in hopes of disclosing illicit financial relationships yet completely ignores/defends the Clinton Foundation. It doesn't excuse Trump's relationships but simply acknowledges the fact that the person seeking the returns has no credibility and is a complete hack.

What logical fallacies would that be? I can't wait to hear them. I notice the left has no problem with whataboutisms when a thread is started about Hillary or Obama....but that's different, right? but go ahead...what logical fallacy are you referring to?
