Tony G, Accardo did not have the power to exile Giancana or certainly kill him between 1957 and 1965. In 1974, of course Accardo had that power. Giancana didn't have any Crew and had been gone for 9 years. So, it depends WHAT YEARS you're talking about when we compare the power of Giancana to Accardo. Basically, Accardo, Auippa & Cerone kicked Giancana when he was down which was a smart move on their part.
