Absolutely nothing you can do about that I'm afraid in any software known to man, even Audition.

Since audio files cannot be attached to posts here you will need to upload it to a file sharing site like Dropbox and then provide a link here to allow users to download it and listen.

However, if the problem was created by a faulty mic cable or by its placement, your chances of retrieving any reasonable quality in your recording is pretty minimal, I fear.

I agree. Just about the only realistic thing you can try (and there are absolutely no guarantees with this) is to treat the noise as though it's the sort of clicky crackle you get from old vinyl records - and accordingly, run the declicker on it. This very much depends on making an estimate of the risetime of each crackle to identify it as such, but since it often sounds very similar, this might help, at least in part.
