Just like with the "russian hackers" story I have read both the document itself and surrounding media narratives. The reason why I have edited the quote to "TLDR" was because I did not plan to repply to your post directly.
Just like with the "russian hackers" story there is no evidence within that story or surrounding narratives to support it. Remember how you mentioned (and linked) the official documents in the discussion, when I was present? Well, those did not have any evidence regarding attribution.

In your post, and in the post you agreed with, there are still no cites, no references, no expansion to support your claims, just more 'drive-by sniping' void of substance we are expected to believe just because you 'say so'; perhaps living in Russia has ingrained you with a natural tendency to accept the 'party line'...

Since you can not offer even one bit of detailed, verifiable, substantiation to bolster you claims, then I will accept them as they are: empty claims, not fact...

And there is no need for me to do so, simply because of the Russell's teapot principle. What I do is point out that there is no evidence where you (or to be specific the narrative you project) claim that there is evidence, just like in the case I mentioned above, where upon examination official documents not only had factual errors in them, but also lacked the evidence to support the claims made regarding attribution. So accusing me of blindly following a political narrative is, well, amusing.
But to return to that new discussion. If you read the document, it is obvious that it is not credible from the style and content of it. While there are many surrounding theories regarding it's origins (which vary from 4chan trolls to ex-soviet intelligence officers) I have still not made my mind regarding it and I will still wait for specific supporting evidence rather than claims by sources clearly invested into the matter discussed.
On topic - unsurprisingly Trump's admin denies those spy allegations:
