The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality.

[…]

In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel. According to multiple sources briefed on the matter, the FBI did so to facilitate hiring in some cases, even if candidates acknowledged they engaged in sexually deviant activities or stole from an employer.

What a coincidence. I'm currently researching people who have sex with dogs. I'll be in my lab..

So DEI is fine, as long as they don’t have to hire black people. Sex offenders really need a leg up though.

What a heinous bunch of cunts.

Ya know? I gotta plead ignorance on this one. I've never applied to work for the FBI. So I can't comment on what the process is like....but never had I once considered the fact that the FBI not only asks on the application, and follows up on a background check who fucks animals.

I don't ever have thoughts that people fuck animals. 10 years ago when the epstein stuff came out, I was surprised to learn that not only do grown men fuck kids, but it's also not even that uncommon among the rich.

Now I'm finding out this animal fucking is a big enough problem that it was something they have to look into with applicants.

And even weirder, they have abandoned that barrier to entry.

What the fuck are we even DOING on this planet???

"The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality." They want sex traffickers and sexual abusers.

This is so that the governor of Nebraska, famous pig fucker Jim Pillen, can moonlight as a federal agent

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 41 points 2 days ago

Seems lowering our standards has been in the news a lot lately.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I make a lot of jokes about my employer's low standards for hiring people. Never thought I'd see the FBI limbo their way beneath that bar...Jesus.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

We are only just past halfway through the 2nd year. I think we will be singing much, much lower. There is still a lot of time

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In fairness to Hawaii, I don't believe they have squirrels.

[–] antianarchist@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

FYI: they changed the laws in NM and WY, but it's still 100% legal to fuck animals in WV.

[–] antianarchist@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

And how do you know the laws so well? When was your last rabies shot? 🌝

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He should have kept his Hands off that penis.

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He was trying to get a free colonoscopy, it didn't pan out so well. The horse was alright though.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Next it's sexual predators. Rapist. Pedos.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mate, I've got news for you.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I mean officially. Even with criminal record. Yeah I know there are a bunch of them already.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

finally an easy interview question and now it doesnt even matter.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Seems like all we have to do is find a higher-ups friend or family member that was hired right after this and I'm pretty sure we've found our goat fucker.

This is not a rule you create or get rid of for a bunch of people. One goat per rule change.
