The release of the Nunes memo did exactly what the GOP wanted. It muddied the waters. A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:
1. The real shock of the Nunes memo
From CNN: What Americans need to know isn't bits and pieces of a process. They need to know everything the judge knew when he approved the extension of surveillance.

2. Nunes memo further evidence of GOP kowtowing to Trump
From The Register-Guard: Is this the hill Republicans want to die on?

3. #ReleaseTheMemo wasn't about transparency 
From Sen. Ron Wyden: Why did Republicans oppose revealing categories of who is targeted under FISA warrants when they revealed specifics of surveillance.
