Using a word tautology
As weather r Vane rightly pointed out tautology does not fit in your context.
In the context you talked about the discussions are becoming repetitive. I think they are beating about the bush
Tautology is a way of talking in which some words are unnecessarily repeated.
Example:
Your acting is completely devoid of emotion.
In the sentence above _completely _ is unnecessary because devoid means completely empty
The correct sentence is given below:
Your acting is devoid of emotion
Similarly some nonnative speakers say:
We discussed about politics
Here about is unnecessary.
