CNN commentator Joan Walsh sounded the alarms on the potential firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

During an interview with Bloomberg, President Donald Trump weighed in on the job security of Sessions, saying that he’ll keep him in charge of the Department of Justice til at least after the November midterms.

“I would just love to have him do a great job,” Trump told Bloomberg.

Walsh began by mocking the various firings from the Trump administration, especially the ones when the president breaks the news on Twitter.

However, she struck a more serious tone with CNN host Don Lemon about how Trump’s interview with Bloomberg “broke a lot of news.”

“I honestly think the combination, Don, of calling [the Russia investigation] an ‘illegal’ investigation, which is a new word,” Walsh said. “He’s called it a ‘witch hunt.’ He’s trashed it.”

She then pivoted to the news about Sessions and invoked Watergate in the process.

“We remember the Saturday Night Massacre. There could be a Wednesday Morning Massacre after the midterms because I think regardless of what happens, but especially given that I believe that there’s going to be at least a Democratic takeover of the House, I think he’s going to take that opportunity and Republican senators- and other Republicans are going to give it to him, to clean house, to get rid of Sessions, to get rid of Mueller in that lame duck session,” Walsh warned. “I think he said some really scary things tonight as well as some ridiculous and funny things.”
