In any case, I and others here likely also agree that the administration (Obama’s Administration) needs to come clean on this gun scandal.

They should have done that when the publicity first broke. By waiting and claiming ignorance, they blew their chance at plausible denial.
When something like this comes up, there is no time to waste. You claim you just found out, articulate anger that such a thing could have happened under your nose, blame subordinates for covering it up, then fire some of those subordinates.
It's clean and simple, but it doesn't work if you don't take action quickly. This administration hedged and stammered, and now the evidence is being dredged up in full view of a (somewhat) attentive public. Now they have to blame and fire higher-ranking people, and the damage is worse.
