so the mob needed to kill colombo in front of a hundred thousand people with fbi and all l.e. watching, because nobody could get to joe,? they could have called him in ,buried him in staten island and nobody would ever know where joe went..remember carlo put him in that spot ,if he wanted him dead it would not be a very high risk hit , my opinion.carlo was not john gotti who wanted to go down in history with a sensational hit,, paul could have disappeared also,
Think they’re would have been a war and I don’t think the Genovese family or Chicago would go along for the commission vote..Colombo had his own loyal crew and connections to leaders in New England and Chicago. I just don’t see what the motivation was for the FBI to wack him.. the league was only good for the FBI. More agents assigned means more money and overtime hours...and I also think Gambino wanted the 1.2 million he loaned Colombo paid back and if Gambino conspired w the other families to wack Colombo then how could he ask for the money to be repaid.. this way Carl can still ask for the 1.2 million back.... $1.2 million in the early 1970s is equivalent w buying power to $7 million..
