2. Pulling the teeth of the tiger
It was going to come out down the line, so better to deal with it up front gives him the opportunity to appear forthright about it.

Clever move, actually- if it went down that way. Defense attorney's will often do things like that to dull the effect of impeachment evidence on cross-x.

3. This was a good move on his part -- he gets to control the message
