Patel noted that some former trafficking victims had been disqualified for a job because they were forced into bestiality.

Sounds fine. No need to disqualify someone who was forced to do it by someone else.

I'm not going to argue how such an event could affect a person's psyche and if that changes how they'd perform as an FBI agent, but I don't know that it should be dismissed that casually.

However, that's just the part that caught the public's attention, there were other sensible restrictions that have been removed:

Prior to the current administration, FBI policy was to bar applicants who had, among other things, hired sex workers, stolen from an employer, or engaged in bestiality. In August, CBS News reported that these standards had been relaxed and that multiple sources claimed “the FBI did so to facilitate hiring in some cases.”

Now you can have thieves in the FBI too.
