That lets you isolate the question of whether the House's subpoena is facially valid, on facts where Administration were conducting public business on private accounts.
Anyway, seems like you don't want to take on all of the issues at once -- you want to look for a way to chip away at the craziness.

My chief objection was to style. I haven't even gotten to substance.
1. You don't write 8 page letters, to anyone, ever, unless you're in the 18th Century and you won't see your true love for three years and a fortnight.
2. You don't mix the legal with the equitable with the political and vomit it on the page like some regurgitated word salad. Write multiple letters. Save your powder. Offer things in discrete categories which people can digest.
Do these fucking people have any clue about crisis management? A fucking PR flack could do better.
Yes, I agree a subpoena that forces a public hearing, in a cherry-picked venue not favorable to Trump, is probably a best first step.
