he may have cheated on taxes. That sounds political.

the real reason is to expose the money laundering (or hiding evidence of money laundering), payments and business arrangements with foreign powers that suggest foreign policy bias, illegal behavior that put him at risk for compromise, financial arrangements with foreign powers that should have been part of normal vetting processes, emolument conflicts.

These are very serious and should be front and center in talking about his taxes.
