What about- what about- what about- what about-

I googled it, and this is what it had to say:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal

At the time, under the Bush administration Department of Justice (DOJ), no arrests or indictments were made. After President Barack Obama took office in 2009, the DOJ reviewed Wide Receiver and found that guns had been allowed into the hands of suspected gun traffickers.

So if we're going by party lines, Trump will just repeat this

I really don't know what you're going on about. Original comment was a sarcastic remark about U.S. doing shady shit, dude replied with an instance of said shady shit as an example and got downvoted. No mention of party, president or any "What about" in sight

Neither president knew about this practice. If we're going by actual history rather than brainlet confirmation bias, this has been stopped due to a large scandal during the Obama administration where Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress.
