James Comey downplayed whatever information U.S. Attorney John Durham might have turned up on him in the Justice Department inquiry into the Russia investigation.
The former FBI director, who was in charge of the bureau when it opened up the counterintelligence investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia in the summer of 2016, was asked Sunday if he is a "witness or a target" or has been questioned by Durham.
"I have no idea," Comey said in an interview Sunday on CBS News. "I've had no contact with him and haven't talked to him."
This follows news that former CIA Director John Brennan was interviewed by the federal prosecutor's team on Friday. A statement put out by Nick Shapiro, Brennan's former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser, said Brennan was interviewed for eight hours at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and was told he is not a "subject or a target" of a criminal investigation, but rather is only a witness to events under review.
According to Shapiro, Brennan was asked about the intelligence-related activities undertaken by CIA before the 2016 presidential election, as well as the Intelligence Community Assessment published in early January 2017, which Comey helped put together along with the National Security Agency.
Picking up on Comey saying he has not been approached by Durham's investigations, Margaret Brennan, the moderator of Face the Nation, asked the former FBI director if he believes that means he is a "target" of the inquiry.

GUILTY as SIN. This rat bastard belongs in front of a firing squad!!!!!......................YESTERDAY!
Of course, Comey is part of the swamp. He is against Trump, isn't he? Anyone who is not totally loyal to Trump and has not sowrn his allegiance to him (which is the same as law and order) is part of the swamp.
James Comey, you have the right to remain silent.
Comey was once in charge of investigating the Hell's Angels under the RICO Act. He couldn't convince the Jury because he didn't have the grounds, it was a harassment campaign. That is what the pos is good for
What he is saying is the truth. Barr is deep state. He's a Bush man, was Mueller's good friend, was a cleaner for the CIA. You don't get that high up the food chain in the totally corrupt CIA if you aren't on board with the globalist agenda. NOTHING will happen to the top guys in the coup. And what exactly has Durham done? After YEARS of investitgating? Pretty much NOTHING. And Brennan is not a "subject or a target"? what a JOKE.
More political theater to sucker the sheeple. Brennan is a top guy. The real top guys are the globalist oligarchs behind the scenes, but Brennan, Comey, etc were the top guys running the coup. NOTHING will happen to them. Like NOTHING will happen to Hillary. High profile globalist stooges are protected.
Listen to Talk Radio. Last week one of the 20 FBI Democratic agents was arrested.He pled guilty. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=X+FBI+agent+arrested+and+pled+guilty&...
He is such a narcissist. He knows perfectly well he is subject of investigation he was a huge part of it.
"Face the Nation"? The more appropiate name for it should be, "Sit Down, and Let's Talk Bullshit."
