Why exactly does Michael remove Tom as consigliere once he takes over the family and makes non-family member Carlo the new consigliere? Vito's consigliere was Tom and he told Tom to give Carlo a living but to never discuss the family business with him. Later on Michael has Tom act as Don while he goes to Cuba but then later on becomes aggressive with him again when asking if Tom is going to be leaving the family business in Nevada? Once Michael returns, does Tom stay on as his consigliere or does he return to his position as family lawyer? Basically, what's Michaels beef with Tom who is basically a brother to him?
