Roger Stone describes Donald Trump as "serene" and "resolute" in the face of the indictment. The conversation shifts to the 34 counts leaked to the press, with Stone accusing journalist Michael Isikoff of being a "deep state actor" who previously pushed the Steele Dossier. Stone argues that the leaks from Alvin Bragg's office are a felony and part of a coordinated effort to smear Trump before he can defend himself in court.

Roger Stone and Judge Napolitano discuss the "stunning leak" of the 34 charges to the media before the formal arraignment. Stone identifies Michael Isikoff as the recipient of the leak, calling him a "rodent-like individual" who previously pushed the Steele Dossier. Napolitano agrees that the government uses "favorite leakeys" to spin narratives before the public can see the actual documents, a tactic he says the FBI used against Stone.
