"President Trump’s inexplicable behavior has many Americans asking, 'what does Putin have over him' that he’s behaving in a way that is basically inexplicable in any rational, logical line of thinking?" Schumer said. "Well, that’s why his tax returns would be so important. We should pass legislation that requires the president to release his tax returns. That was important before, but it’s so much more important after Helsinki now."

You are right, the fact that the tax returns have shown him to be losing millions, it means he is open to blackmail or whatever else, but they never clearly indicated a Russian connection.
I really think you need to go read about Matt Taibbi has said about the supposed Russia connection. The mainstream media has so completely boondoggled the truth it is rather pathetic at this point.

You know what was fake news? Most of the Russiagate story. There was no Trump-Russia conspiracy, that thing we just spent three years chasing. The Mueller Report is crystal clear on this.
He didn’t just “fail to establish” evidence of crime. His report is full of incredibly damning passages, like one about Russian officialdom’s efforts to reach the Trump campaign after the election: “They appeared not to have preexisting contacts and struggled to connect with senior officials around the President-Elect.”
Not only was there no “collusion,” the two camps didn’t even have each others’ phone numbers!
