I know a guy that's plausibly connected to people in power. Also kind of underspoken doesn't brag a lot. Anyway grain of salt but he claimed that the bestiality thing got add it on to a seemingly left leaning policy of seeing no prostitutes as perpetrators because of fraternities. Evidently Kash Patel drops anything that's embarrassing like it's a hot rock and tries to just curry favor all the time when he is not doing his main job of looking try hard cool. Supposedly he got forced into making that change because there were so many nepotistic royalty kids who are getting their hazing activities flagged on background checks for SAE and they needed to have that not be a problem for certain appointment hires.

“You dropped automatic disqualification for applicants who have been engaged in bestiality, not victims of bestiality – applicants who have engaged,” Durbin said to Patel.

Patel responded: “Applicants who have engaged in bestiality means they were victims of bestiality because they were forced to do so.”

This is honestly really concerning. Like, jokes out of the room for a second.

Kash. Dude. Did something happen?

    Remember that he's still a podcaster that got hand selected for the job lol. "How it started/ how it's going" and all that.

    This clip will be a core part of his "legacy" as FBI director, but Trump or whoever said he had to do it, and he has got to be one of the most pliant people alive.
