James Johnston was the Director of Contract Administration in the Justice Management Division of the DOJ. He was implicated in allegations surrounding the PROMIS Software Scandal.

According to a source of Ronald LeGrand, Johnston was one of three senior DOJ officials, along with Miles Matthews and James Knapp, whom Lowell Jensen allegedly relied upon to engineer Inslaw's problems. The source claimed that Jensen wanted to get Inslaw "out of the way and give the business to friends."1

However, when interviewed by the Special Counsel, James Johnston stated that he did not believe he had ever met James Knapp, who was alleged to have conspired with him to implement Jensen's scheme. Johnston also told the Special Counsel that he never discussed Inslaw or PROMIS with Lowell Jensen, and that he never received any directions from any superior at the DOJ regarding INSLAW. The Special Counsel's investigation found no credible evidence to support the allegations against Johnston or any connection between him and a conspiracy related to Inslaw or PROMIS.1
