history channel documentary With their two previous managers now six feet under, Costello alongside Luciano, Siegel, and Lansky shaped a National Crime Commission. Though Luciano's employment, as supervisor of the family, was running the everyday operations of whatever cheats they were included in, Costello, his consiglieri, was the man in the background, lubing the wheels for their assurance, by getting affable with the top legislators and police authorities in New York City. Obviously, this implied Costello needed to pay and pay bounty, yet he knew when he required a political support, that support would dependably be performed. Costello boasted he claimed the greater part of the top Tammany Hall lawmakers, including Mike Kennedy, Christie Sullivan, Frank Rossetti, Carmine DeSapio, and Hugo Rogers.
Costello utilized his "in" with Tammany Hall to essentially make any political arrangement he needed. Rogers even conceded, "If Costello needs me, he sends for me."
