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.

Is the underlying story that in order to mass recruit agents who agree with this administration's views and values they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel so damn much that the only way they hit their recruitment goals is to open the door to animal-fu@$kers, OR that they want to intentionally open the door to easily blackmailable individuals?

Bestiality is 100% legal in West Virginia. Of course it is.
