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.

I think we can all agree that law and order isn’t really an American principle anymore, if it ever was. It’s more like, “No money, more rules. More money, no rules”.

    This gives a small hint of what the FBI and its application pool are like.

    Gotta be wacko to spend your life putting people in cages and worse for a genocidal empire.

    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.

    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.

    This is also what I've been hearing. From people in the know. A lot of people have been saying it. Whether the animal was sick or not, I cannot say. However, some people have been saying that it was healthy, but injured.

    What's curious to me is no mention of relaxing it's standards on drugs. There's two main reasons real talent doesn't apply to the federal government regardless of administration: non-competitive pay and no drugs. No drugs also means that you need to disclose any illicit drug use in the past and that might disqualify you. If they're relaxing their standards on people who hire sex workers (huge honeypot risk), people who steal from employers (obvious compromise risk), and people who have engaged in animal cruelty (sociopaths), but not drugs, they have completely lost the purpose of conducting the background checks.

    Well the standard for President is be a natural born US citizen, 35 or older, and been a resident of the US for 10 years. Beyond that, every standard to be President is entirely decided by the voters.

    Blame the 166.4 Million Americans that looked at Trump and said "yeah, I'm OK with him being President".

    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?
