Feinstein insists that there's a secret reason for why this information needs to be kept secret
Say "there's a reason why" or "there's a reason that". Never say "there's a reason for why". The word "for" can't take an independent clause. It can take a participle: "there's a reason for keeping the information secret", and it can take a noun: "there's a reason for secrecy", but the text that follows "for" can not be something that could stand as a sentence on its own.

When you blow your nose do you say you're "Kleenexing"?
