"I am not a target of this investigation" leaves open that he SHOULD be. "I have no knowledge of this affair" could mean he just turned to a guy and said "handle this," both knowing exactly what he means without saying so. At no time have I heard Jackson say "I am completely innocent," which suggests to me that he may not be.
