I keep seeing this OCR consideration and I realize it’s not possible given the search aspects, as one major thing ... IMO. Combined with the 17 etc it all seems like a proof + setup indicator to me.

I have no idea why the search engines would code in the change, maybe so those who need access and know the code can find what they need while the general public is left in the Bermuda Triangle. It is above my pay grade.

What I do recognize, as someone with over 20 years of OCR experience, is that it provides a possible explanation... I cannot imagine why. {8^0

In scanned pdf documents it might just be an error that no one proof read.

I wondered myself about OCR (probably print as PDF) as well the proofreader's spell check afterwards. A spell check might not find proper names with misspellings. For instance spell check might see a misspelling of a common name like James but maybe not Comey and a lazy proofer might not notice.

Strange to me though is when comparing the possible "rn" to "m" or "m" to "rn" issues i ran into this. Notice the "rn" in attorney looks very dissimilar to the "rn" found by the search tool in "Corney".

Also notice when I zoomed in on the "m" in Corney and compared it to the "m" in James, they do look a bit different and they are different in width. Notice the first leg or the Comey "m" looks like the first leg of the Attorney "n" and the middle leg of the James "m".

I don't know what this tells us other than IMO, the proof reader failed to correct the OCR errors of Comey converted to Corney with some bizarre character combination that the search tools recognizes as "rn" instead of "m".

A final spitball may be a combination of fonts used by the OCR tool which confuses the search tool.

We did not identify a specific Department policy prohibiting {Bruce} Ohr from meeting with Steele, {Glenn} Simpson, or the State Department and providing the information he learned from those meetings to the FBI. However, Ohr was clearly cognizant of his responsibility to inform his supervisors of these interactions, and acknowledged to the OIG that the possibility that he would have been told by his supervisors to stop having such contact may have factored into his decision not to tell them about it.

Would that include meeting his wife, Nellie Ohr of Fusion GPS, at home at the end of each day? 😒
