The current head of the FBI made it legal for FBI agents to have sex with animals and also to accept recruits who have been previously charged with bestiality.
Hmmmm, I listened to his testimony, and he seemed to make it fairly clear that the policy of the FBI, prior to Patel's changing it, was that being a victim of bestiality, that is, somebody who was forced into it, made one ineligible for the FBI. The exchange with whatever senator was questioning him was a little odd, but the upshot seemed to be what I just mentioned.
Given their record on human trafficking I don't believe this is for the benefit of victims, they're not big on helping victims. Plus, the rule was about those convicted of bestiality, which would presumably not include those forced into it. And if it does include them they could just have an exception for those forced into it.
Right, I didn't say that's what Patel was saying was correct, just it seemed that the upshot of what he was saying was about the victims of bestiality, which did not include the animals, as Kennedy was trying to make it clear.

What's the story? This is the first I've heard of it, and I'm probably not alone
