Firstly words have meanings.
The left claim the idea of FF was started under Bush but that was Wide Receiver, a program that never intended to let firearms cross the border but to have controlled hand over and arrests.
Claiming that gun traces could only be a ref to FF is erroneous as gun traces were and are done all the time.
As a conservative I prefer to deal in facts not suppositions.
Fact - Justice Dept under Holder claimed no knowledge then months later retracted.
Fact - Holder claimed his predecessor was briefed on FF and retracted that TODAY.
Fact - a legal subpoena has been issued and ignored by the Justice Dept.
Fact - The White house claimed no knowledge of FF and now has exerted executive privilege to the documents that may prove other wise.
Please do not try to use loose change like video as “PROOF”
IIRC, the media has used gun walker and wide receiver interchangeably. This video shows that the administration back in 2009 had a program, important to the president, that reflects the aim of F&F. If you can’t understand that, that’s your problem. Go pound sand.
Actually it did intend to let guns cross the border but, as you say, they intended to interdict them at some point.
The Department of Justice ’ s Operation Fast and Furious: Accounts of ATF Agents(above) Four ATF field agents testify under oath that they "never even heard of intentionally letting guns "walk" before F&F."
