Letters: Devin Nunes’ memo is the last straw. A Republican quits

Re “President Trump and Devin Nunes put politics above America’s security and institutions” (Editorials, Feb. 1): After close to 45 years as a registered Republican, I can take it no more. President Donald Trump and Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, are not Americans who support first responders. The support they reportedly have is based on convenience. They throw the FBI and Justice Department under the bus. Really, they should be ashamed and anyone who supports the decision should also be ashamed. To issue this partisan memo in the hopes of protecting Trump is a clear violation of the intent of our founding fathers. I will no longer be associated with the Republican Party. A wasted 45 years.
