* Kill an anonymous hooker in order to frame a U.S. Senator.

I was always under the impression that Tom Hagen set that one up while Michael was on the road with the Hyman Roth business.

Hagen worked for somebody.

Yes, but what better way to get back into Michael's good graces than to pwn the Senator who dissed him?

Also, Michael didn't even know what his kids had gotten for Christmas upon his return. It's not like they were burning up the phone lines while he'd been gone.

I'm sticking with my original assessment.

IMO, Michael may not have known the EXACT details of how to get the Senator, he did instruct Tom to do "something". Tom's "something" was just something that mob people do.

IN a similar manner, Vito may not have known about the horsehead, but Tom was under instructions to get to the producer.
