Basically, what's Michaels beef with Tom who is basically a brother to him? When Michael took over as Don, a part of him knew deep down that he was now ' COMPLETELY IN' and could never really be legitimate, so that is why he kept Tom out of a lot of things that were illegal, etc. He also did this to protect himself in case anyone under him decided to move against him ("you're the only one that I can trust"). However Michael probably fooled himslef into really believing that he could bring the family to legitimacy, but deep down he knew that Tom had to remain somewhat legitimate to help him with his dream.
