It might look "canned" if you could refute these points:

1. The FBI has a standing concern about revealing sources and methods with regards to some documents--yes/no?

2. Comer gets to see the documents. If there is some incriminating evidence there, he could state it without
revealing the source/methods. yes/no?

3. Trump tried to pressure the FBI directly and often publicly during his tenure; that included firing Comey for investigating his campaign. Yes/no? 

4. Even "out of office" Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, has more control over the GOP than anyone. GOP politicians avoid attacking him* and his minions in Congress are trying their best to investigate the FBI as it investigates Trump. Yes/no?

5. The GOP has a history of ginning up investigations that go nowhere, or are only successful as fishing investigations that go on and on until they find something they weren't looking for but is useful (Whitewatergate, Benghazi). The most recent example of the former would be the "whistleblowers" Jordan gave us a few weeks ago that so raised MAGA expectations. . . then fizzled.  Yes/no?

If you were refuting those points and I kept repeating them then, yes, "canned" (though hardly "leftist). But NO ONE refutes them.

But just saying "canned" without refuting them doesn't neutralize them at all. You are just avoiding them, awaiting the next "breaking news" about the Biden crime family; and if evidence isn't forthcoming, again, then it can't be there is none. And the cycle continues, "What is the FBI hiding?"--drifting far away from the factual record.

*Desantis became the exception to this when he finally declared, although the criticism is pretty mild. The greatest sign of Trump's power is that his opponents cannot reject his insurrection. Look what happened to Cheney.  Insurrectionists are not longer ANTIFA or BLM ringers Trump couldn't call off as they destroyed the Capitol, but  "patriots" deserving of pardon. Yes/no?
