TB,

In the past we've had discussions on Geary's comments at the hearings. I think he was at his political, slimy best at the hearing. His comments are carefully worded so that no matter the outcome his hide was safe. Likely he knew about Frankie, but if need be he could plead ignorance with Michael. His buffer questions could have served to make sure that it was on the record that Cicci never got orders from the Don. When the committee chairman announces that they will produce a witness (Frankie) who got direct orders, Geary had a washed out look on his face like - I tried Mike, but..... and of course his Eye-talian American, salt-of-the-earth speech was another slime factor, political grandstanding. Great character development by the actor.
