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.

Since you mentioned the taking a picture thing it actually makes this story even more hilarious. The person who created the docs is so stuck on him being an ex-spy that he takes pictures of his own documents.. Just like they do in the movies. As if he broke into some secret facility had to quickly snap some pictures and steal the information contained on the documents. And then he went out shopping this information around.
This shit show couldn't get any better.. lmao
