>> julie: the fact that he had these conversations number one claims that he had memos that he had recorded right after the conversation, and then leaked to the press shortly thereafter, it does really question his credibility in this book and it seems it's just complete speculation and it's a fiction. it sounds like a fictional stor story. >> even some clinton supporters such as the former special counsel to president bill clinton when he was an officer of the commentary in the journal questioning comey's motives in all of this, calling him righteous and also handling the clinton investigation during the election cycle. so criticism coming from both sides but have also heard others saying it might be self-righteous but it may also be true. it's going to be a lot of impact with this book. >> julie: thank you very much. at the last we've heard of james comey obviously. thank you very much. >> eric: to syria now. another national security council being held at this hour
