Meaning he was cooperative to direct contact beforehand? Because there only seems to be one thing it could mean: the Thalmor contacted Ulfric and he agreed to work with them, however briefly. If the dossier had just said " he has proven his worth as an asset", that would be fine as the Civil War does work in their favor, but the rest of the paragraph is pretty damning in my eyes.

He might not work with them anymore, but the dossier suggests the Thalmor are the ones behind the Markarth Incident, not Ulfric. If this got out his supporters would at least begin to question him, at worst have him killed and have Galmar take over. I think that if word of this got out the entire rebellion would crumble. The only thing that the Stormcloaks hate more than the Empire, is the Thalmor. I think that the Stormcloak's would lose all their trust in Ulfric, and as a result the entire rebellion would probably crumble. I don't think the soldiers would trust any of the Stormcloak commanders after this, and as a the war would become a few small groups of Nords conducting guerilla warfare that the Empire would inevitably crush.
