So, this raises the question: what legislative purpose could there actually be? Because if any legislation requiring disclosure is null and void up front, I think SCOTUS would have hopped on that as a way to avoid turning over the docs (which it seems to me will almost certainly leak).
OMG! I never thought being stupid had any advantages but I guess I was wrong. Get ready for a complete circus 
where the Biggest Clown 
is in charge of advising all the other clowns THIS WILL BE EPIC!

Just so we’re clear: it’s only the libertarians who lost money, yes?
No doubt on the House side the nation is in for at least 2 years an historical shitshow.

I assume you mean legislative purpose to congress’ obtaining a president’s tax returns. Oversight, to be certain the president is not being treated unfairly, or conversely, being given unduly favorable treatment. Oversight and/or specific investigation, to clarify whether the president is beholden to certain entities.

That’s one of the governmental abuses the McCarthy Congress has promised to investigate. It will be included in the Articles of Impeachment.

Cochise County Refuses to Certify Election Results, No Lawyer Will Defend Them | National Review
The increasing ridiculousness of the stance of the supervisors in Cochise County, Ariz., appears to be another hard lesson of, “Don’t elect lunatics to positions of serious public responsibility”:
Cochise County officials may go to court Thursday without an attorney to represent them against charges that they broke the law by failing to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election.
County supervisors on Tuesday voted to hire attorney Bryan Blehm to defend them and the county government against two lawsuits, even though they had not discussed the matter with him. On Wednesday, they were caught flat-footed when Blehm declined the offer, as did another attorney he had recommended.
