Joe Bonanno just couldn't see what was going under his nose. Looks like he had no problem with Luciano's allies getting clipped. I wonder, whether he came up with an idea to take over the commission before or after attempt on Costello's life. From what I understand, Joe B didn't take Carlo seriously, calling him squirrel, like, it's easier to kill a squirrel like Gambino than lion like Anastasia.
What I can't really understand, why he used Profaci's men, not someone of his own.


Because Joe Magliocco was just as involved, if not more on the plot to kill Luchesse and Gambino.
Magliocco used Joe Colombo who outed the plan.

Had not Joe B tipped FBI Luciano's whereabouts, his life would've been much easier
