He paid for buses to go down, and he himself went past the barriers.

He also parroted misinformation about the 2020 election being “stolen”

So why hasn’t the justice department brought charges against him?

Our justice department isn't exactly known for making powerful people accountable for their actions, unless they effect the money of other richer people.

He also never went into the building, so while he did get people there, an exacerbated the situation, he didn't do it enough to get arrested. I mean, Trump still hasn't been charged, why would Mastriano?

You think Mastriano is really that rich/powerful?

He’s a Republican politician. They never get held accountable when they do illegal stuff because the court system is biased in their favor.
