I think most people, including the vast majority of Trump's supporters, know that Trump is a crook and a tax cheat who has benefited from "rich white man's justice" his whole life. Many, on both sides, think he will continue to benefit from such justice.
However, I wouldn't want to be doing Trump's laundry in the days and weeks after Congress gets these returns. (If they get these returns.) Because that will be a very smelly and unpleasant job.

I think that's why they want to see his tax records; Part of an on going criminal investigation.

Exactly right. President Trump says he and his businesses are audited by the IRS every year. It's an annual thing his accountants are always ready for, every Spring.

Citation needed.
ETA: Why don't the President's personal lawyers, and the White House lawyers know this supposed little factiod? Instead their insisting that the Chairman's motives are tainted?
Senate gallery visitors may hear the majority leader request that “the Senate proceed to executive session.” What is an executive session? Article II, section 2, of the Constitution states that the Senate shall provide its “advice and consent” to treaties and nominations. The Senate holds executive sessions to consider these issues and other business received from the president.[b/]

You'd just ignore it if I did, so I won't waste my time. The info is on the internet if you feel like educating yourself, however, I suspect rather than denying ignorance you'll continue to actively embrace it as usual.

Article II, section 2, of the Constitution states that the Senate shall provide its “advice and consent” to treaties and nominations. The Senate holds executive sessions to consider these issues and other business received from the president. Senate rules require that different journals and calendars be maintained for executive and legislative business.
Section 2
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
