If I remember correctly “Operation Wide Receiver” was started under Bush and was a legitimate investigation into how guns made it to Mexican Carterls.
Obama changed it to “Operation Fast and Furious” where they ACTUALLY SUPPLIED GUNS to criminals in Mexico, and then lost track of them.
It was probably INTENDED to fail, so they could use Mexican Gun Violence as an issue to take guns away from innocent American citizens. It is the only explanation that makes sense. Even gross incompetance does not cover the level of stupidity Obama and his minions showed.
