Interesting article about the docket of the judge (Ho) who is deciding the Adams withdrawal matter. Turns out Ho also has oversight of two related cases where one of the parties ready plead guilty but appears to have been cooperating with the investigation and another seems poised to enter a guilty plea on a lesser charge — all relating to the alleged bribes of Adams.

So Ho had a great deal more insight into the underlying case against Adams than the media covering the Adams hearing, which likely is informing his handling of the dismissal. It also makes you wonder about the fairness of the plea deal now with the cooperating witness (and seems to have letting limbo the other pending plea).
 
Paul Clement is an interesting choice. I think Judge Ho is likely focusing on the correct issue and I suspect that he is looking to the prejudice issue as a way of removing the harm.

Judge Ho is very good. I was impressed.

I believe that Trump receives orange marks for his many corrupt moves that occur daily. That is why he looks more like a pumpkin with every passing day.
 

Judge Dismisses Bribery Case Against NYC Mayor Eric Adams​

Decision bars DOJ from potentially reviving charges as it had originally requested, after accusations of possible quid pro quo​



“…
In a 78-page written ruling, Ho said he was dismissing the case in part because he had no power to compel the Justice Department to prosecute the case. But he barred the Justice Department from renewing the charges, saying that if he didn’t, it “would leave Mayor Adams under the specter of reindictment at essentially any time, and for essentially any reason.”

The ruling also ensured that the prospect of future charges “cannot be used as leverage over Mayor Adams or the City of New York,” he added. …”
