The plan was uncovered by Media Trackers, an investigative watchdog group. Media Trackers discovered nearly three-dozen Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) opposition research notebooks including secretive manuals outlining anything that could be used against political opponents like Arnold-Jones.
Some of the files have actually been published on the DCCC’s website to facilitate their use by candiates, progressive PAC’s, and progressive Super PAC’s.

Washington-based Roll Call a political newspaper actually covered some of the meetings at which Democratic political staffers discussed ways to gather information for the intelligence files they were building on Republicans. Apparently Roll Call was granted access on the condition that they not publish the names of key targeted Republicans.
However, in a major information breach at the DCCC, the booklets became available via Google searches that combined targeted candidate’s names with opposition research search terms. The information found in the documents contains biographical details, copies of land plots, voter registration records, tax information, business records, and press clippings. Most likely Michelle Lujan Grisham's campaign, along with progressive out-of-state PAC’s and Super PAC’s, and the DCCC itself will use the information contained in the booklet to fashion negative ads targeting Arnold-Jones.
