The second part of the order delegates to Barr the president’s authority to declassify — or reduce the level of classification of — anything that the intelligence agencies will give him.
Trump said “We want to be very transparent, so as you know, I declassified everything. We are exposing everything.” He specifically mentioned that Barr would be looking at the involvement of several nations including the UK, Australia, and Ukraine.

It’s inconceivable that the FBI under Comey and the CIA under Brennan would have conducted the spying campaign against Trump without either the specific approval or at least knowing acquiescence of Obama himself.
It’s more than likely that then-vice president Joe Biden also knew. Biden’s involvement, if shown, could lose the election for him if he became the Democrats’ nominee.
Barr’s investigations may — and probably should — result in indictments of former FBI officials as well as former and current members of the intelligence community.
Regardless of whether it does, Barr’s investigations will finally reveal what the public deserves to know about the abuses of power the FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies committed in the attempted coup against a fairly-elected president.
