As Frankie's brother Vincenzo was
already on his way, to enforce omertà knowing about Questadt was not pivotal
Brilliant! This was Ace! thus trumping “Roth played this one beautifully”
However it showed Tom up even more that Tom was “not up to the
consiglieri job” including Tom had no idea that Roth's passport's been invalidated except for return to the United States
Extracts: Michael was stunned and dismayed when he learned--after he testified--that Pentanageli was alive. Tom's reply was insulting: "Roth, he played this one beautifully...you've opened yourself to five counts of perjury." Tom was praising Roth and chiding Michael. Not very "brotherly."
Sure thing Tom seemingly happy! taking satisfaction from Michael's predicament and acting like —
1. It had nothing to do with Tom
2. It was not the
consiglieri's fault
3. It was not the
consiglieri's job, to know about these things....
4. condescending and Not very "brotherly." indeed even if Tom was
not the
consiglieri Also Tom's glee and satisfaction wouldn't have escaped Michael who'd have noted this disloyalty and Tom having a mistress wouldn't have sat well with him either
Tom, Rocco and Neri?why weren't you on top of the Pentangeli survival and arrest? Duh-h-h, Tom!
