                              <P>The suggestion that it would be inherently inappropriate for presidential advisers to testify under oath before Congress regarding the firing of U.S. attorneys was swiftly batted down with numerous references to a 2004 Congressional Research Service <A href="http://www.fas.org/irp/crs/RL31351.pdf">report</A> (pdf) on the subject.</p> <P>CRS analyst Harold C. Relyea identified dozens of cases in which presidential advisers had been summoned to testify to Congress, and did so.
