Weren't the Corleones paying McCluskey?!
The novel says they were. Tom told Sonny that "he's greedy and untrustworthy to do business with."
It makes sense McCluskey would be taking bribes and kickbacks from every criminal big and small
However McCluskey pulling the “guinea hoods” guarding Vito in the hospital off so that Sollozzo can finish Vito off, would get around and as “greedy and untrustworthy” as McCluskey is, wouldn't it make all the others paying McCluskey off, jittery, causing problems
