So it's easy to say things like closing the deal fast meant getting Michael out of the way or that if Fredo was going to get a piece of the action meant that Michael would pushed out or killed, but I really don't think that Fredo considered this.

Either because he was stupid or blinded by greed and jealousy, I really believe that he just took Roth/Ola at their words and didn't consider the consequences of his actions.

That doesn't necessarily mean that he's not a traitor but I don't think that he was knowingly aiding in the assassination of his brother.

exactly. I guess my point of making this thread is to dispell the notion that fredo wanted mike dead and mike was jusified. If you want to call him a traitor for lying thats fine but im sorry i still see no evidence he wanted to hurt mike or take over the family. I know mike is the main character but lets be honest he does some really evil things in part 2
