And from Adalind's perspective, she was willing to be the patsy in that. She willingly took the blame.Once Nick accepted Renard’s suggestion that they align against the Royals, he remained angry at and suspect of Adalind’s actions, while suspicion and anger toward Renard disappeared. Adalind retaliated against Nick, but she paid the price for Renard’s attack against Marie & Nick, while Renard gained a Grimm ally.
As for the resistance, didn't Renard already have that via Meisner?
Nick either couldn’t see through Renard’s ‘talk’ and know he was being manipulated & used just as Adalind had, or, he understood that aligning with Renard ensured him a captain who would cover up Grimm duties compromising police procedures. If it’s the latter, the Nick/Renard alliance was a win-win.
As FitC said, Renard had contacts in the Resistance, such as Meisner and Sebastian, but he needed acceptance from Resistance leaders and gained that as a black sheep Royal wanting to destroy the seven families who had a ‘Grimm in his pocket’.
