On page 69 it saw it as Comey, with an M.

Actually, it recognized it as "Camey" on that page (and several others).

information on July 29. Camey told us that he was updated on the status of the
investigation every 2 to 4 weeks. These status updates were provided at the end of
his regularly scheduled morning national security briefings conducted by, among
others, McCabe, Steinbach, Priestap, and Strzok. According to Camey, these
briefings did not typically include discussions about investigative strategy, but he
was often briefed on specific investigative actions the Crossfire Hurricane team had
taken or planned to take. Camey said that he did not recall playing a role in
making any significant investigative decisions and did not have any concerns or
disagreements with the investigative actions described by senior CD officials during
briefings.
Camey told us that he recalled a discussion with the briefers about taking
precautions to keep the case close-hold. Camey said he was mindful that the
investigation involved a political campaign, and he advised the team to keep in
mind that, "[although] it's smoke that we see, we don't know whether there's fire
there." McCabe also told us the FBI wanted "to keep our inquiry as quiet as we
could." He said that it was important to keep the investigation covert to avoid
· alerting the subjects of the investigation or others, and, specifically in this case, it
was important due to the pending election.
McCabe told us he received regular briefings on the progress of Crossfire
Hurricane and discussed the investigation with Camey at regular briefings. Strzok
told us the team briefed McCabe approximately 5-10 times during the investigation,
and the OGC Unit Chief told us McCabe was briefed every few weeks until the
election in November and less frequently thereafter. According to both Strzok and
the OGC Unit Chief, these briefings provided updates on the team's investigative
activities and typically were not discussions about what steps to take. The OGC
Unit Chief also said that McCabe directed the team to "get to the bottom of this as
quickly as possible, but with a light footprint."
Priestap told us that Strzok, the Intel Section Chief, and the OGC Unit Chief
frequently briefed him on the investigation and kept him apprised of significant
developments. In addition to approving the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane
cases, Priestap told us that he was involved in discussions as to whether to seek
authority under FISA to conduct electronic surveillance
targeting Carter Page, a subject we describe in detail in Chapter Five. Priestap said
he briefed Steinbach nearly every day on the case and provided Camey or McCabe
with updates on an as-needed basis.
2. Department of Justice
a. National Security Division
The Department was first notified about the opening of Crossfire Hurricane
on August 2, 2016, when Priestap and the Intel Section Chief briefed several
representatives from NSD, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General (Deputy
AAG) George Toscas, Deputy AAG Adam Hickey, and David Laufman, who as

Sounds like Ats spell checker.

Now I want to know how much Adobe donated to the left. I think we should investigate.

OpenSecrets

Yep, Adobe is a big Democrat donor. I feel they are in on this.

Curiouser and curiouser. I, too, went to Pg. 69, highlighted 'Comey' references on that page, keyed them into a search, and found it came up with an 'a' instead of an 'o'. Now...WHO and WHY and HOW?

Are you serious?

Can't tell if sarcasm or not.

I admit your and nataylor's explanation makes more sense than something weirder something like trying to indemnify the person James Comey. I guess I'll have to look for some counter examples of the OCR misreading other names.

You have to admit it is really weird though. Corney? Camey? Adobe's dictionary file has the names of obscure towns, but not the name of the former director of the FBI?

Dead serious, investigate everything! I learned that from the left that if you investigate for a crime, you might find a crime.

a reply to: Middleoftheroad
So you think a company re-wrote a major piece of software to include an inconsistent glitch?

How about using a little logic when investigating everything?

a reply to: daskakik

Tell that to the left, I'm just playing by their rules.

a reply to: Middleoftheroad
I'm not responding to the left and I'm not talking about their rules.

I'm pointing out the lack of logic in your proposal.

a reply to: Zelun

The Camey thing is odd to me, because it looks like Comey there- and everywhere else that it comes up as Corney.


If you search for "mey" you'll see a bunch of weird examples in this document... but it's very common in OCR documents. Nothing too fishy going on here- just typical adobe software glitches.

a reply to: lordcomac

The part that I don't get is why would they print it, redact it, then scan it back in? Surely deleting the character data would be a more secure way of redacting, as compared to a sharpie. Even digitally obscuring the redacted portions seems like a nonsense way to do it.

a reply to: daskakik

Haha, it was sarcasm. I was just tugging your strings a little. But, that is how ridiculous the last 3 years have been.

a reply to: lordcomac

Who knows why OCR gets stuff wrong at times while getting it right in other parts of the same document?

Page 2 right column end of 3rd paragraph reads "Carter Page FISA authority" and OCR read "Carter Page FI?A authority" even though it seems to have gotten it right in every other instance.

a reply to: Middleoftheroad

Darn you, now I have to re-calibrate my sarcasm sensor.

Someone on 4chan debunked this. It was a glitch with copy and paste or something.

I don't see copy/paste, but maybe OCR glitch.

The OIG examined more than one million
documents that were in the Department's and FBI's
possession and conducted over 170 interviews involving
more than 100 witnesses. These witnesses included
former FBI Director Corney,

That IS oddball. I can see it says "Comey", clear as day, but it only copies as "Corney".

So I guess we should all ask our selves: "does James Comey really exist, or is the person who used that name an cover name for something else?"

Between all this and the stupid pictures of him in the corn fields, I beginning to think Comey/Corney/Conartist/whatever might be trying to wipe his existence off the grid. Here's a man that was in an ideal position to steal tons of money, and now that the heat is being pressed on him and those who worked for him, is name is becoming harder and harder to find? No no nothing to see here.
