I can’t answer that; I am just operating on the assumption that the “leak” is accurately representing that the DOJ has a tie linking the Bush Adm and Obama Adm to “Wide Receiver.”
And I happened to find this source confirming a link. If it is true (and I have no confidence in this source
http://www.theoutdoorwire.com/features/224570
UNLESS it is confirmed), my argument and my understanding, were it confirmed to be true, is that Bush handled Wide Receiver entirely differently than the Obama Adm.
Bush, according to the article, actually TRACKED weapons with RFID’s, and when the method and operation failed, he shut it down.
We have NO evidence, to my knowledge, that the Obama Adm EVER tried to track a single weapon that they let “walk.”
Furthermore, I would maintain the Bush Adm motive was entirely different than the Obama Adm motive.
I assert that the motive of Obama & Thugs, Inc was to destabilize Mexico and bordering US states. Secondarily, (because they always like to kill as many birds with one stone as possible), they wanted to strengthen their position to attack the 2nd amendment and get guns out of the hands of US citizens.
It was essentially a rhetorical question.
According to the definition of "walking" that the four ATF agents give you can't track a weapon that walks. The definition of "walking" is that it gets out of their control.
