CNN’s resident leftist political commentator Van Jones said on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton has “two strikes against her” due to her “bad judgment” stemming from having classified information on her private email server while secretary of state.

On “CNN Newsroom,” host Brooke Baldwin said, “On Hillary Clinton, CNN confirms the FBI has turned over a number of documents related to their investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail server. House Oversight Committee staff currently reviewing the information that’s classified secret. No further details at the time. Although… Hillary Clinton’s top aides are making it clear that they would like the notes Van, to be released publicly but it is classified information. Is that just bluster? I got to ask.”

“Well, it could be,” Jones replied. “I think for Democrats as proud as we are of Hillary Clinton and what she’s been able to do and, frankly, her command over every issue is so extraordinary, this is just a source of continued heartburn and rug burn for this campaign.”

“The reality is she’s apologized again and again for the judgment but it was bad judgment,” Jones said. “And we’re now having to pay a cost in the campaign. I’d say it is a strike against Hillary Clinton that she chose to use that e-mail server. It is a strike against her that she’s handled it you know in this weird way going forward. So that’s two strikes against her.”
