All right, everyone, thank you very much.

Excellent coverage tonight.

I'm Chris Cuomo.

Welcome to Primetime.

Reality is sitting in for this president.

He is about to be impeached and all likely put.

What's unreal is how in this final moment

that could define how this goes,

he's trying to burn down the house in a letter for the ages

that the speaker is calling sick tonight.

Here's the letter, but you will not believe what's in it,

but more importantly, what it does to this president.

It is some of the wildest Trump arguments yet.

A night like this,

if you compare it with what Bill Clinton did

and we'll do that tonight,

you'll see how the choices you may

can lead you to very different places.

We have Clinton's former chief of staff here

to talk about what impeachment was for them

and how different than what it is that we're dealing with right now.

Let's get after it.
