To go on a fishing expedition. There has to be an expectation that a crime has been committed. Same with the Grand Jury issuing a subpoena. This is a clear abuse of the use of a Grand Jury and well beyond the abuse during Watergate. Apple probably should have been a lot more skeptical of a subpoena for data on elected Congressmen of the opposition party. Indeed, it looks like the sole purpose of this Grand Jury was to spy on a political opponent. Barr should end up in jail, along with other in DOJ.
