What I don’t get is why Paul didn’t make a move to break Johnny as a Capo before Neil died.
He didn’t clip or even shelve Angie.
By the time early 1985 rolls around, it’s gotta be clear John and Angelo are just stalling. Neil can only make so many excuses
I gotta think Paul looked like weak by not taking care of the “Bergen problem” earlier. You basically had by the end of 1984 a renegade Capo and an Underboss acting as a human shield
. Neil kept Gotti alive literally til his last breath for better or worse . Even as sick as he was Paul didn’t want to start issues with Neil. Plus at the same time the Commission trial came along do the last thing Paul wanted to do was to draw more attention to himself by taking out a big crew
