Good point. I haven't thought about it that way, so I think you're right.

But still, the cop does enter the bar a little suspicious...

And where did all the cops suddenly came from anyway?

And what about this remark Tom made to Michael (taken from the transcript):

"ROTH. He engineered it MICHAEL. Frankie went to make a deal with the Rosato Brothers -- and they tried to kill him. Our people with the New York detectives said he was half dead, scared stiff, and calling out loud that you'd turned on him. They'd already had him on possession, bookmaking, murder 1, and a lot more."
