The issue isn’t whether the memo should be released. The issue is the oversight of the FBI and Justice department. A roundup of editorials Friday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the right:

1. Let’s see the memo

From The Gainesville Sun: We should see what is in the memo – good or bad.

2. Senator Johnson widens FBI corruption probe

From American Greatness: A memo that shows FBI corruption would be a bad thing, but it could be much worse than we think.

3. Positioning over the Nunes FISA memo continues ahead of its release

From columnist Andrew McCarthy: Why are Democrats condemning the process of releasing the memo?
