Four anti-Nunes letters were published in the Fresno BEE today. I suspect the BEE will not endorse Nunes in November, contrary to past endorsements. The editorial board called him “Trump’s stooge” in January. www.fresnobee.com/… Also, a lengthy article about demonstrations against him appeared on March 30 along with a description of the empty office Nunes maintains near Fresno. www.fresnobee.com/…
Today, a one-sentence letter asked: “Is Devin Nunes the love child of Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn?” www.fresnobee.com/...
Another explained why “Nunes should resign.” www.fresnobee.com/…
A third noted that Nunes has accomplished “little” for his district. www.fresnobee.com/...
The fourth, published with the title the “House GOP hurting democracy,” appeared online as Congressional Republicans are dismantling our democracy It said:
We’re witnessing a total collapse of the norms and procedures designed to preserve the wall between the White House and the DOJ; politics and the law; and most alarming, between a president consciously abusing his power and the FBI tasked with investigating him.
The Constitution mandates that Congress provide checks and balances on the executive. The Republican-led Congress has not only abdicated its responsibility; it’s complicit in the dismantling of these norms and the rule of law itself. Rep. Devin Nunes led this unprecedented frontal assault forcing the DOJ to provide top-secret evidence from the ongoing criminal investigation of Trump and of the FBI informant for Trump’s lawyers to examine….
Democracy, democratic institutions and criminal investigations can’t protect themselves. Congressional Republicans are trampling over the rule of law….

UPDATE: Nunes collects big money in D.C. but barely any from back home
This long article appeared on page 3 of the Fresno BEE on Sunday May 27. It pointed out that through the end of March, Nunes raised just $19,000 in individual donations from within his own district, but more than $100,000 from the D.C. area and $1 million “from corporate PACs and other political committees, which are primarily based in Washington and its suburbs.”
