47. It bugs you that his passport has been revoked, because you don't know why?

Why would you know why?

As for why jail him, he will be a material witness in one of the most important cases that has ever been tried in this country.

Essentially what you don't know is irrelevant, it seems to me, just like it would be for me. Revocation of a US passport is serious business. It is not done on anyone's whim.
