Where did Navarro find this attorney? No judge is going to delay a trial for a book deal tour

Irving told Mehta that he and Rowley would need several weeks to review Navarro’s case, as well as that of Steve Bannon, the only other Trump aide to be charged with contempt of Congress for stonewalling the Jan. 6 committee. He also stressed that Navarro hoped to push the trial date to next year to allow him to promote his upcoming book in time for Christmas.

“Mr. Navarro has a book that’s coming out, and his latter part of the year, especially November and December, is going to be a time where he’s going to be on the road a lot, trying to promote that book, which is important to him in terms of his income and whatnot — it’s not a trivial matter.”

“The book comes out in September, the marketing starts in August, and then runs heavily all the way through Dec. 25, and even more so toward the latter part of the year,” he added later.

“It’s also going to distract him, as a practical matter, from helping Mr. Rowley and I,” Irving said.

For their part, federal prosecutors said they were prepared for “the earliest possible date” and said “the government has serious concerns about delaying trial for a book tour.”

It appears that Navarro's crazy lawsuit on the subpoena was rejected
Navarro referred to the federal grand jury subpoena as the “fruit of the poisonous tree,” arguing that the Jan. 6 committee was itself illegitimate, though a federal judge rejected that argument from Bannon on Wednesday.

my client has a large shipment of cocaine coming into the country sometime in August and since he personally arranged said importation and has a huge, I mean huge vested interest in this happening could you allow him enough time to complete said transaction?

WTF? all I did was change the word from "book" tour.

The intent would be much clearer with a little punctuation and an added word.

To wit:

"They put him in hand cuffs, they put him in leg irons. I can tell you ladies and gentlemen -- that does not (even) typically happen to career criminals"

What he meant was that it's not even done to career criminals, so it shouldn't be done to those who aren't, like his client. It's unwieldy, but a little deductive reasoning and reading for context can determine the intent.
