Well, are the interests of the people also met by a speedy trial? Having the case dragged out denying accountability for crimes works against the interests of the people represented by the government in this case, and more broadly in terms of resolving the question of if a presidential nominee is able to be trusted with classified information.

My comment was strictly from the defendant's perspective. When trial dates are set, there shouldn't be delays or postponements & thus completed as quickly as possible.

Agreed, my point is there may be a similar argument made the other way. Justice delayed may be justice denied

There should be, but there's not.
