Nevada AG Shows She Is Incompetent

Nevada Attorney General, Catherine Cortez Masto, is one of those disgusting political hacks who will cover up for a fellow politician of the same party and today, we find that Cortez Matso has done it again.
From the LVRJ: Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins is facing misdeamnor charges for unlawfully discharging a firearm within the city limits and disturbing the peace, the North Las Vegas city attorney's office announced Wednesday.
Collins was drinking and shooting on his North Las Vegas property the night before the Fourth of July, according to a police report.
Collins is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 24 in the city's Municipal Court. Each charge carries up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Collins, who calls himself the "cowboy commissioner," did not immediately return calls seeking comment Wednesday. Collins is running for re-election to a third term on the County Commission.
According to the police report, Collins shot a tree and a wooden post with a handgun and was shouting. Neighbors called the police after hearing at least seven shots fired. No one was injured. Loud music blared from his truck, and Collins had cut down the shrub with a chain saw. One witness told police she saw the "muzzle flash of a firearm" and watched as Collins put the gun in his truck. Other witnesses refused to give statements to police in hopes of remaining anonymous, and that was reflected in several parts of the report, which were redacted.....
The case was initially sent to the Clark County district attorney's office as a gross misdemeanor. But District Attorney Steve Wolfson recused his office, citing a potential conflict of interest as Collins voted to appoint Wolfson earlier this year to replace David Roger. Collins also votes in his capacity as a county commissioner to determine the budget for Wolfson's office.
Wolfson sent the case on to the Nevada attorney general's office, which declined to prosecute, citing "insufficient evidence."

As far as the crime, to me it's not that big of deal, but as usual, it's the cover up that does the most damage.
Catherine Cortez Masto and Collins are big time Democrats and it is obvious that Cortez Masto covered this one up for one of the Democrat boys- shoot, Collins even admitted his crime.
If this was the first time Cortez Masto has covered for a Democrat, maybe you can overlook it, but it's not.
In October of 2011, she gave a Democrat special treatment when he totally misused his campaign fund:

And she filed trumped up charges against Lt. Govrnor Brian Krolicki on Harry Reid's orders when Krolicki was about to run against Reid:
So, once again, Cortez Matso covers p a crime by a Democrat but in the end, at least the North Las Vegas cops show they have some integrity.
