Purely hypothetical but this presents a tiny angle which Adam could come out of this as a reasonable person... if all of this was basically him saying "I have to go. You have to go. We are both compromised and our positions are now against the charter" then maybe Sam was fighting against that because of the team he built and loves leading. This is one reason I would accept Adam's role if it is just him hanging on to make sure Sam is out before leaving himself. But if that's the case then just say it.
