Well, what can you expect when you've got a President who's a convicted felon, sexual abuser, and alleged child rapist -- not to mention an FBI director who's a lying conspiracy nut who allegedly drinks on the job, uses government resources to ferry his girlfriend to concerts and, worst of all, is a pedo protector? Maybe lower standards down to your level (our emphasis):
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.
Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, are no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation's top law enforcement agency.
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.
The move comes as the FBI has lost scores of employees through firings, retirements and resignations since the start of the Trump administration. [snip]
Former FBI agent James Davidson, who now leads the nonprofit FBI Integrity Project, opposes changing this standard.
"Bestiality is clearly a potential indication of a more serious emotional issue, and even in a circumstance where it is not, the pool of candidates should be extensive enough that the criteria should certainly not be eliminated," he said. [snip]
Former FBI agents and attorneys who handle employment issues for agents told CBS News the decision to lower the standards could lead the bureau to hire people with a history of aberrant behavior and points to broader challenges in recruiting qualified applicants.
"If they are lowering standards, it means the pool of candidates has sufficiently shrunk," Davidson said.
Mark Zaid, a Washington lawyer who represents FBI agents and is familiar with the bureau's hiring practices, agreed.
"How can this not be reflective of a recruiting problem at the FBI if you are lowering your standards on issues like bestiality and prostitution," he said.
The reason they're having recruiting problems traces back to The Aberrant One himself:
Former FBI analyst Philip Fields reviewed government personnel data and found that in 2025 alone, the FBI lost 1,139 special agents, with an average tenure of 21.8 years. His review was published by the nonprofit advocacy group Justice Connection. The FBI says it employs around 13,700 agents.
Some of the agents and analysts who have been fired were assigned to cases that the Trump administration disliked, such as those pertaining to the investigations into President Trump's retention of classified documents and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
"After driving out thousands of career employees, DOJ has struggled to fill those positions for many reasons — including the fact that no one wants to be ordered to conduct politically driven investigations that are often unethical, illegal or unconstitutional," said Stacey Young, a former Justice Department attorney who now runs the nonprofit advocacy group Justice Connection.
But, if you're MAGA you're good to go, failed polygraph or not:
ProPublica previously reported that some of Patel's hires, including his personal assistant, did not clear their polygraph tests and required waivers in order to be able to work at the bureau. The FBI spokesman quoted in that article called the reporting "false" and said the bureau "follows all laws and procedures on personnel security measures."
The worst people in the country.
