Because they're the FBI. We're members of the public and don't need to have details disclosed to us at this time. We'll find out when the investigation concludes. The public simply isn't important enough to warrant giving away key details at this time.
You're not a very smart person.
As any investigator will tell you, a warrant being served doesn't mean a crime has been committed. It doesn't mean a judge has looked at the evidence and said "yep this person committed a crime" it simply means a judge has been convinced that a search is warranted and some judges are very easy to convince. There is no appeal to a search warrant, it's based solely on a judge's discretion, and some judges are quite friendly to law enforcement and yes LEOs know exactly which judges those are.

Sounds to me like they had a good reason to search his home.

In this case, it sounds like there was probable cause for the search. Not sure what you don't understand about this.
