I said I basically agree with you but you just said yeah the commission knew they were cleaning up the guys who killed the Philly boss.
But the commission didn’t know that the Genovese tricked the Philly guys and made them the falls guys.
So it didn’t appear as though the Genovese were behind taking out a boss....they were seen as the ones who wiped out the guys who broke the rules (killed a boss)...
So for them to next go and openly kill a NY Boss... then the expectation would be those guys who took out the boss get killed.
Your logic does makes sense but I just don’t think he was scared of Gotti.
