I often wonder this... how/when is Tom consigliere??? We just take for granted that this is true, but I, honestly, never really bought that he was ever anything more than an "interim" consigliere. Did Vito ever really make him consigliere??? The first time (to my recollection) that we know of Tom being consigliere is when Sollozo takes him and addresses him as such.
