That's why galante blew the doors off Costello tomb.
The FBN agents were highly feared as well.

Imo framing somebody means fabricating false evidence and using it to arrest people for a crime they didn’t commit. Illegally wiretapping phones and/or collecting evidence without a warrant is not “framing”, if the discussions overheard over the phone did really take place and the person really committed the crime. It may be illegal, but it’s not “framing” in a sense like planting drugs on somebody who never handled them or putting a murder weapon in the house of somebody who didn’t do it, or testifying about things that never happened.
I mean, Cantellops testifying about Genovese meeting him was a frame-up if it never happened, but if phones are wiretapped without a warrant, and people actually talk about crimes on the phone, then it’s not the same if they really did it. Illegally obtained evidence isn't necessarily false.
