What is the impact of the Eric Adams case on the Justice Department as a whole?

Friday marked an inflection point for the Department of Justice, challenging years of established norms between the executive and judicial branches. The decision to drop charges against Mayor Adams based on his willingness to help the administration goes against precedent for forgiving crimes in exchange for political cooperation. This unprecedented move has caused significant internal turmoil, with over seven resignations last week and another this week. How the judge rules on this matter could set precedent for future interactions with indicted political officials, potentially allowing charges to be dropped in exchange for cooperation with administration goals.
