I do not believe there will be any significant harm to Hillary's campaing. If the trust is gone, however, the candidate has the right to remove an advisor. That is reality in politics and the advisor should, and probably does realize it.
Hillary can do whatever she wants, but I am rational enough to realize that this behavior by one of her advisers does not improve or harm her position in terms of whom to elect in my eyes. For the record, I wouldn't vote for her anyway.
