So did Senator Geary ever realize that he was being set up by the Corleone Family with the prostitute? Didn't he put it all together that he didn't remember anything and that Tom was being soooo helpful dispite their differences in the past? Initially he was too shocked to realize he was being set up but woulden't he after some time?
I always believed that he knew by the time the trial came about, but from our other Sen. Geary question, it seems like he was trying to help Michael (maybe not help, but not hurt).
I think he knew instantly - Geary was no dummy. He may have been in a fog after "passing out" and the initial shock of waking up next to a corpse. He was probably drugged while the hooker was being killed.
I think of the Geary situation in a similar manner to what happened with Jack Woltz. After killing the prostitute and after killing Khartoum, both Geary & Woltz realized that the Corleone's meant business. It was either comply or be killed - both made the wise choice.
