I've tried looking at this memo thing from like 15 different angles and all I keep coming up with is that it was kind of a waste of time. If I never hear the word memo again, it'll still be too soon.

Yeah i wonder why they didn't give it to the new station that ran a story about a second scoop of ice cream. After all a second scoop of ice cream is some real news. [spoiler]I'm sorry if my bringing up the pettiness of left leaning people upsets you[/spoiler]

Based off of what I read from The Hill, Reuters, and AP, the memo didn't accomplish much other than stating stuff that was already known and then throwing Democrats, the FBI, and the Justice Dept. under the bus, so pretty much throwing everyone who isn't a Republican under the bus. If anything, this move is just making Trump and his administration look even worse, since they're actively trying to divide the US even more rather than try to unify it. Releasing the memo was seen as a bad move from both sides (and by proxy, seen as a bad move by people identifying themselves in the middle), since even Republicans spoke up against releasing it due to it not being 100% transparent and missing a lot of facts.
