Depriving Trump, Emil Bove, and Tom Homan of their leverage over Adams probably the best outcome achievable in the District Court under the circumstances. But it sure is a bitter pill with all the evident corruption that’s lying around in public view.

There was never a chance that Adams would have turned on his benefactor out of principle. He's a bad dude and will be a loyal Trumper if only out of hope of being pardoned for future crimes he commits.
Asking Adams to be let off scot-free is an idiotic minus.
