The mechanism would be by Republicans getting enough votes in Congress to impeach him. It will be at least another election. Which means Biden himself would have to get re-elected, I think, before any prosecution could go on.
If they had the votes, I see Republicans doing that. It's a big question whether they will have them, though.
The FBI is under control of the DOJ and constitutionally they can only act with some "involvement" of the President. The advise and consent clause doesn't give allowance for an independent police department / investigative agency run by the federal government. I'm not excusing Biden. Just saying the whole lie of "I didn't approve the raid" never made any sense as plausible deniability except to an uneducated electorate. The media has always pushed the lie of independent investigations either to grant cover for their favorite presidents, or pressure the unfavored ones into letting FBI ops run unchecked.
He claimed the White House didn't know about it though. Which is a possible thing that could happen. The FBI can act without telling the President, or anyone who works for him directly, anything. In fact, I would think they mostly do operate that way.
Biden said they were shocked by it. Which appears to have been a lie.
On October 25, 2022, Acting Archivist Wall wrote to then-Ranking Members James Comer and Jim Jordan, claiming “NARA received the 15 boxes from President Trump on January 18, 2022, and then discovered that they contained classified national security information. Shortly after the discovery, NARA consulted with its Office of Inspector General (OIG), which operates independently of NARA. As DOJ has disclosed publicly in court filings, NARA’s OIG subsequently referred the matter to DOJ on February 9, 2022.”
If the OIG acted independently in making a referral to the FBI, then Mr. Laster would not have involved himself in the FBI’s review of the 15 boxes in his capacity as the Director of the White House Liaison Division “responsible for all access requests for Presidential records.” Similarly, the FBI affidavit before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida that provided the probable cause for the issuance of a search warrant against Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022, stated, “[on February 9, 2022] the Special Agent in Charge of NARA’s Office of the Inspector General sent the NARA Referral via email to DOJ.” However, the evidence is that the Biden White House and the Department of Justice coordinated to obtain the Trump records, and perhaps create a pretext for a law enforcement raid, by way of a “special access request.”
“The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president only when the records in question are needed for ‘the conduct of current business’ of the White House,” America First Legal explained. “Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the ‘current business’ of the White House.”
I thought this was already common knowledge. He ordered his people to find a way to raid and this bitch came up with a solution that he authorized.
Legally this puts the WH in hot water, it was believed but now they have evidence of the Archivist lying to cover the WH.
My brother in Christ, under what legal system in this country will Joe Biden ever be in "hot water"? He's already broken hundreds of laws. FFS.
And if all else fails, Biden himself has a strong case for a defense of mental defect.

You win or you die.
Of course Biden's behind it. You'd have to be a fool to think he wasn't.
They fully intend to prevent him running. By any means necessary.
