Well TB, that's the point that I have been making: a consigilere anticipates threats to the family. Of course, a consigliere is not omniscient. He can't be expected to anticipate evey threat. But Tom's record is less than illustrious.

Also, regardless of who Paulie worked for, Tom should have analyzed the possible effects of Sonny's outburst at the Sollozzo meeting (which apparently he did) and doubled his precautions.
