Keystone Kash Issues Bizarre Defense of Bonkers FBI Hiring Rule

FBI Director Kash Patel says bestiality is no longer necessarily a barrier to working at the bureau because he doesn’t want to discriminate against its victims.

Patel, 46, defended last month’s hiring changes Tuesday during a tense Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on his performance during his second year on the job. He has also lifted an automatic ban on applicants who’ve hired sex workers or stolen from their employer.

Patel said the bureau dropped its default disqualifier for bestiality if the crime happened before the person was 18 because he doesn’t want to rule out hiring “victims who were trafficked” as a child into having sex with animals. The new wording does not distinguish between someone who was coerced and someone who acted willingly.
