Normal Political Ethics Require Trump's Immediate Recusal

We now know that Trump is being investigated by the FBI as a possible asset or tool of a foreign power. 

Normal political ethics would require that a politician step aside until his/her name is cleared in such a situation, as no one who is under such a criminal investigation should actively occupy an executive office. 

While the problem is cured somewhat by having a special investigator who does not report directly to Trump, the allegations against Trump are so serious that he should immediately step aside until Mueller completes his investigation. 

Put another way, you can't have someone who you suspect is a possible traitor running your country.

Hmmm...for some reason, I suspect Trump will just keep going.  

"Make America Great Again!"...by dragging its political ethics lower than they have ever been.
