While what the Memo exposed was already known by those paying attention, the responses by those in the spotlight borders on comedy gold.
1. "....Pelosi refers to the document as “Nunes’ partisan spin memo” and expresses her disapproval with the president, declaring that “he just sent his friend Putin a bouquet.”
“President Trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as Commander-in-Chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence,” part of the statement declares. “By not protecting intelligence sources and methods, he just sent his friend Putin a bouquet.”
2. ....distorts highly classified intelligence in a cynical attempt to discredit our national intelligence and law enforcement agencies and the Special Counsel investigation,” and “releasing the memo is a desperate attempt to distract the American people from the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal.”
3.....Adam Schiff said in a tweet that, “The President’s decision to publicly release a misleading memo attacking DOJ & FBI is a transparent attempt to discredit these institutions and undermine Mueller’s probe. We'll fight to release our classified response."
4. ...Schumer and a number of other Democrats including Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, Adam Schiff, Dianne Feinstein and others, signed a letter to the president that referred to the memo as “partisan and misleading.”
The letter condemns Trump for releasing the document “over the objections of your own Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director and the Department of Justice (DOJ),” asserting that the president’s action, “was a transparent attempt to discredit the hard-working men and women of law enforcement who are investigating Russia’s interference with our Presidential election and that nation’s ties to your campaign.”
5. ...Comey, chimed in on Twitter, similarly decrying the memo as “Dishonest and misleading.”
He said in his tweet: “That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.”

The image of a passel of stuck pigs comes to mind.
