"We did not want to make it an automatic disqualification for the FBI" Patel said, while looking fondly at the terrified pet Chihuahua sitting on his lap

FBI Director Kash Patel’s decision to remove bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for FBI job applicants drew bipartisan disbelief Tuesday after he said the change was intended to protect trafficking victims coerced into sexual acts with animals.

The FBI previously automatically disqualified people who acknowledged engaging in crimes including prostitution or bestiality, which is sexual activity between a human and an animal. Now applicants won’t automatically be disqualified for those acts.

Huh... An actual plausibly sensible reason for what appears to be on the surface at least, a batshit change.
