But in there they state:
(The October Mother Jones column mentioned in there is at: A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump | Mother Jones)
So, these papers have been floating around for a while and apparently nobody has been able to verify them, so whether they are real info or bullshit is definitely yet to be seen.
The articles I have read sourced them to an ex MI6 agent but they look more like notes that you would see from an investigative reporter although the document structure seems a little strange. It does not strike me as an "official" format, meaning from some government agency. There are usually more tells in real government intelligence papers but a journalist would probably not follow a standard labeling structure like these do.
We will see what happens I guess.
edited in: I saw after the fact that the ex MI6 agent was hired to do opposition research. Still the document structure seems fishy. The whole "Company Intelligence Report" stuff especially.

Additional summary.
He works for the "company" and he created this report. The republican opposition said no thank you because it's likely made up nonsense. Democrats didn't care as long as it helped and most likely paid him to start shopping it around to numerous new agencies and none of them would touch it until now.. Now we know the truth behind why Reid was pushing for Trump/Russia ties investigation and that it's all based on this paid for "company intelligence report" The FBI has already investigated and found no link.... Suckers getting suckered by the media again.
