All in all hardly compelling enough to in any way impact his credibility.

My interpretation of his remark was that if he provided it directly to the media, it would potentially result in him then being hounded by the media further, and he and his wife were planning to get away from the media and hiding for a bit. I think the phrase he used was that it would be like 'feeding seagulls at the beach.'
