The call for the release of a memo suggesting that the FBI and Justice Department have engaged in misconduct is growing louder. But why? A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

1. FBI agents have to zip It in this political climate

From Bloomberg: Shouldn’t we accept that a professional can act like one on the job, despite who they voted for?

2. Rep. Devin Nunes, Trump's stooge, attacks FBI

From the Sacramento Bee: Why is Rep. Devin Nunes, (R-Calif.), flashing around a secret memo and leading the charge against the FBI?

3. By all means, release the Republicans' secret memo — and the Democrats' too

From the Los Angeles Times: We’d all like to see the document, but the Justice Department wants to see it first. And then there’s the Democrats’ answer to it.

The right wonders why the media, Democrats are not more concerned with memo about FBI misconduct.
