Dem strategy to counter GOP convention leaked

[Geee]

The Hill:

Democrats have laid out their plans to counter the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month, according to a document leaked online by a hacker.

 

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has allocated an $806,650 budget for its counter-events and tactics, according to documents posted online by an individual calling themselves “Guccifer 2.0.”

 

The hacker, who recently leaked the DNC's opposition file on Trump, also posted what appears to be a donor spreadsheet of more than 17,000 names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, event names and dollar figures marked “Amount.” A sampling of phone numbers tested appeared to accurately match voicemails of the listed names.

 

The convention document says the DNC plans on gearing up its attacks against the Republicans' convention before it begins later this month.

“The plan begins with setting the tone in Cleveland before the convention kicks off with activities previewing the most likely and outrageous falsehoods we expect to hear at the [convention],” the documents read.

 

The documents also say the DNC plans on launching a national campaign aimed at overshadowing the convention’s run from July 18 to 21.

“Our operation will consist of a campaign on the ground in Cleveland, from headquarters, and in battleground and other states to amplify a message that sets the record straight on what viewers will see at the convention,” the plan says.
