Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle is growing increasingly antsy and frustrated as Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho drags out a decision on whether to dismiss his corruption case, The Post has learned. Nearly three weeks have passed since powerhouse lawyer Paul Clement — whom Ho tapped for advice on whether to dismiss the prosecution — recommended that the judge toss the mayor’s case for good. Ho hasn’t made a peep since — and sources close to Adams complained the wait has hobbled Hizzoner’s fading chance to hit the campaign trail and make up lost ground in the upcoming Democratic mayoral primary.
