About the Tahoe shooters, weren't their throats slit? I'm thinking how did someone get close enough to slit their throats while these guys still had their guns on them?
The only reasonable explanation is that there was a backup team. They may have learned of the assassins' failure on the spot and so they killed them as punishment. Also, having their throats cut might have been a symbolic gesture to point out that they couldn't talk anymore..
The assassination of the assassins makes no sense.
It's unrealistic to think that anyone could take out 2 hired killers by cutting their throats. Even a surprise attack by the Family traitor would only kill one.
Why have a backup team? Obviously, it wasn't to make sure the mission succeeded, since it failed and they did nothing to prevent that. If Roth was so concerned about the first team talking, why hire them at all? Why have a plan that involved smuggling trusted people onto the compound to kill untrusted ones? Why not just have the backup team carry out the mission?
Between the drapes and the dead assassins, that sequence was just not thought through, at least to the level of scrutiny given to it by us crazy fans.
