I never could have accepted Clemenza being a traitor! We see Clemenza and Tessio with Vito from the early days. Only FFC was clever enough to show us a sincere side and a personal side of Clemenza in both GFI and GFII. We never really got to see a personal side to Tessio in either movie. So in GFI it was easier to accept that Tessio was a traitor. In GFII, we are shown a personal side to Frankie, and for the most part we grow to like this guy. If I found it a bit disturbing to accept that Frankie was a traitor, I cannot even imagine having to swallow Clemenza becoming a traitor!
