After Michael and Hagen have that talk about Tessio and Clemenza and Michael tells Hagen "Tessio was always smarter", Michael then tells Hagen of his plan and that it will take place AFTER the baptism.

It actually takes place during the baptism.

Was Michael distrustful of Hagen at that point? Did he perhaps think Hagen could relay that information to his enemies? Because the heads of the five families were all caught slipping that day. Going about their usual business. No heightened sense of security around them.

At that point of Michael's journey, it really could have been anyone, as reiterated by his father many times.

The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
