Yes, but Geary finessed that whole senate investigation. He had to have gone to Michael and said "Look I am just a member of a committee, and there is nothing I can do excedpt put in a good word for you and then excuse myself from the proceedings. I have no doubt, as has been said elsewhere that he was simultaneously telling the chairman that he would ask a few questions about "buffers" to help set the perjury trap and then say some nice things about Italians and leave the room. He was claerly playing both sides. If Michael had gone to prison for perjury his allegations about the senator and the prostitute would never have been believed.
