Sen. Cory Booker confronts Kash Patel at congressional hearing
FBI Director Kash Patel left Republican Sen. John Kennedy looking dumbfounded Tuesday as he offered a series of bizarre explanations for the bureau’s decision to eliminate bestiality as an automatic hiring disqualifier
eddiekan.bsky.social71At the FBI, they’re fucking the dogs, the people that came in, they’re fucking the cats…They’re fucking the pets of the people that live there
Kizmar30If they’re okay with rapists, pedophiles, abusers, and couch fuckers; might as well add bestiality.
jac61.bsky.social20"Republican Sen. John Kennedy looks dumbfounded." Why? He knew Kash Patel was unqualified, yet he voted to confirm Patel as FBI director. Senator Kennedy

Ari DaMace16The victims of bestiality are welcome in the FBI? How many sheep were normally rejected each year before?
chefsf.bsky.social16Do you think someone in the FBI made this up to make him look ridiculous?? They really don’t like the guy. Right?
Lindsay Beyerstein46I loathe Kennedy and his faux folksy persona, but his grilling of Patel is comedy gold. He starts by pointing out that the other party is always trying to make them look bad and what the hell was Patel thinking putting bestiality in there?

Mark Thompson7Imagine practicing this response last night in the testimony prep.
Tim Goodacre - Writer6"Patel argued that the bureau changed the policy because human trafficking victims could have been forced to participate in sexual acts involving animals and should not necessarily be automatically barred from later working for the FBI." 😶

Tom3He doesn't mind a bit of horse meat?
Emily Norton2Do we want to know why Trumps FBI needs a bestiality policy …? 🤮
Pablo2I'm surprised we aren't all dumbfounded hearing a Kennedy talk like Foghorn Leghorn and we are supposed to take him seriously 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Kash Patel defended his new policy before the Senate Judiciary Committee which allows the FBI to hire agents who have engaged in bestiality and it barely gets noticed because there are 50 other things happening from these clowns each day that are worse.
Chris⚖️Justice84Somehow, Patel has seen evidence of 'victims forced into bestiality' that he wants to hire for the FBI. But can't find any crimes in the Epstein Files. (Which still have not been fully released)
Middlerage30Forced Beastliaty is what he said! 🙄 bsky.app/profile/midd...
gordonbanksmitts.bsky.social29Having sex with an animal to join a fraternity is not coercion, it’s a choice. I also think it’s a good indicator that you’ve probably engaged in some other behavior that would be potential blackmail material for an adversary.
rset70.bsky.social13So the republicans are against men in womens sports but ok with screwing animals????

Jayne4Freedom3We lose 700 FBI Agents yearly to atrician. We've lost 4 times that amount in less than 2 years. Who's protecting us from Foreign Terrorist attacks? No one, and maybe that's the point.
After his testimony, there is no doubt that the rule was changed for one specific person that Kash Patel knows personally and he wants to hire (or already hired) and their circumstance is definitely not "trafficking victim."
Shannon Deisen64Surely it is a guy who participated in a fraternity hazing ritual.
Ray Bradbury Beat Edgar Allan Poe32There is also no doubt that Kash Patel has a disturbing search history on his computer to say the least.
Stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker21This regime is just an absolute freakshow.
Tom Nook Yankees 318Frat boy FBI director changes rules so he can hire his frat boy friends who did weird shit in hazing rituals.
Andrew: weird and loud13"what type of animal did Kash Patel's best friend fuck?" Is going to turn into an intrusive thought question over and over and over
Anna B.11Can this admin get any sicker, stranger, or disgusting?
I'm thinking there's a Pulitzer Prize waiting for the reporter dicovering the identity of the FBI applicant who engaged in beastiality and what their relationship is to Kash Patel causing him to change the standard and allow that person into the agency.
CoasterMatt25Kash really screwed the pooch?
Shadrach North 🇨🇦11Nixon era: deep throat Trump era: deep goat
Bodhi SJW8The language he's used suggests there are multiple people who they could not hire because of this.
Pam Nash7I would hazard a guess that Ka$h got a heads up regarding a story that is about to hit the presses. A story about him.
Gruel of Law7It's Kash. He called himself a "victim."
martin_fff5They could check the Enumclaw Field Office... [typo correction]
George Frankly!40Let me be the first to congratulate @jeremykaplowitz.com on his Pulitzer www.instagram.com/reel/DQz3DUn...
Dave Holmes29But maybe it’s a pig or goat who is a sexy secret agent, did you ever think of that
Eric Champnella17So true. Somebody needs to ask Kash straight up: "Do you personally know of any FBI applicants who this standard pertained to?"
DiscoPriest 🌱8That reporter would be........ the GOAT.
andybchen.bsky.social3I'm assuming @pablo.show is already on it
Nifferama3Plus, we will all crowdfund a financial prize for this also.
Tom Tegtmeyer3Sounds like a job for Ashley Feinberg.
Soy Boy2As a leading expert in bestiality: put me in coach!
Molotovsky2I do not know the context to this and I'm not going to google it. Even though the result would not surprise me in the least.
FBI director Kash Patel faced lawmakers during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. His answers to questions—from why the agency lowered its hiring standards to why he “barged” in on the USA men’s hockey team’s celebrations earlier this year—were…perplexing, to say the least.
AnnieGTMD29He's not just corrupt, he's also an idiot, just like his boss. Someone ask him to define "bestiality."
Corroded Vessel 🧑💻19He's nothing but unqualified, lying filth.

Stella16The "I don't know" administration
jokermanpig.bsky.social13there are that many FBI prospects that have had, or been forced to have sex with animals applying for a job?? What the hell is he talking about
Marvelous Max12I keep wondering why bestiality came up at all. Are there a lot of people being rejected for that reason or does Kash have a secret?
Dawn7He is the worst. We are stuck with this bullshit until we get a strong majority in the House and the Senate!!!!
Pam Spaulding6We are an unserious nation — our FBI head, in a congressional hearing, is proud to be contemptuous of authority, so idiotic, unqualified, self-absorbed & comfy w/lying. He is an embarrassment to the highly trained agents he treats as valets while he burns our 💰. Ka$h needs prison. 📺 t2m.co/zUpuOBRc
I’m not saying video does him any favors, but hearing Kash Patel on the radio it’s hard to believe he’s FBI director and not an overcompensating middle school vice principal.
Schooley82A middle school with a live goat mascot.
gm0rk.bsky.social12I'm pretty sure he's not allowed near middle schools.

FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers he changed the bureau's hiring standards to eliminate bestiality as an automatic disqualifier because he did not want to bar trafficking victims who had been forced to have sex with animals reut.rs/4yFCKuV
ninjamonkky.bsky.social61Sure Jan, you very specifically removed beastiality from a list of disqualification because hypothetically in the future some victim of sexual abuse might want to become an agent.
Victims of beastiality do not apply to the FBI, only abusers. Proving once again, Kash Patel is unqualified, unfit and and wholly incapable of doing this job. Just like everyone in the Trump regime.
Cynthia17Well, they wouldn't have been convicted, so that doesn't really fly.
Seth L, a Wisconsin resident15Sounds like he has someone specifically in mind
MAT-AT (aka Downtown Lars)15The better therory I’ve heard here is that the applicable regulation also included auto bans for stealing from employers and hiring sex workers and they wanted to open up at least one of those.

Katrina Lehto3The only thing that makes /any/ sense to me at /all/ about this is id there is some secret society with horrible hazing rituals. (Think David Cameron and that Black Mirror episode...)
Mr. Nick Beaudrot2There's an Enumclaw angle here, isn't there.
FBI Director Kash Patel was asked today if agents could be sent to polling places this November. He wouldn't rule it out.

1 Vote3Sen Booker is doing his job! Kash Patel is not! Patel is another Trump lackey that is incompetent.
CindySue2"I don't know" That's his answer to most everything. It makes him the most stupid and ignorant director ever, IMHO
mellowbutmad.bsky.social1The fact that Patel is so defensive and belligerent to Congress should tell Americans all they need to know. These Republicans are not serious or qualified people. Congress has oversight. They are evasive and refuse to answer straightforward questions. This Republican congress allows it. VOTE BLUE.
russelltim151.bsky.social1Caste Patel is living his best life as Republicans GOP FBI director on the taxpayers dime.
Eliza1Good grief. The Trump administration members are pathetic. They're all malignant narcissistic liars. Patel can't even answer the questions. Sheesh.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the change allows applications from people who have been victims of these crimes to be considered. https://to.pbs.org/3USBEO0
Brian M. Wise: Snarkasaurus Rex. Ω, MFers.10To be clear, Patel tried to explain it like the people who committed the act were victims. That's absolutely not how the changes were worded. At all.
PictureTheSouth8C'mon PBS! We saw the video. Don't be sanewashing this. Even Kennedy - who would normally be cheer-leading for Team Patel - wasn't buying that line of bullshit.
Peace Eagle6Since when were victims of any crime not allowed to be considered? The change allows perpetrators of these crimes to be considered. This country is out of its mind.
boredscrollmaster.bsky.social4How can you be a "victim" of bestiality, when the animal IS THE VICTIM? I'm sorry, but Patel needs to go. NOW. He's 7 cans short of a 6-pack. The trials that are coming are going to make Nuremburg look like traffic court.
kathy-58.bsky.social3How about Epstein Survivors would they qualify or is their “history“ too nasty for you 😡
Stable Glennius2Y’all, wouldn’t victims of these crimes be unsuited for fbi work if nothing else bc the trauma makes them emotionally labile if not easy marks for blackmail?
U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) grilled FBI Director Kash Patel over why the bureau relaxed hiring rules that had automatically disqualified some applicants for past sexual conduct involving non-human animals. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/senator-pr...
Myanulrich2Patel laughed and enjoyed being grilled. He thinks the FBI is a video game he gets to control !
