Wildest Reason Someone Got Rejected from the CIA | John Kiriakou

Sometimes in the barn when I get in a fight with my wife, I go out to the barn and I I bugger her a horse. I'll start at the beginning. I worked with a guy overseas, fantastic guy, great case officer, dear friend, and he had been a CIA polygrapher for 20 years before transferring into operations. And he was a natural operator. So, I asked him one time, we were just the embassy where we were working had a like a shack in the in the parking lot that had a bar in it, and we would all go after work and just drink beers in in the embassy bar. So, I said to him, "20 years as a pornographer, you must have some crazy stories." And he said that in those 20 years, he had people hooked up to the polygraph machine admit to literally every crime I could imagine, including murder. Wow. Yeah. And there's a panic button, you know, under the table where, you know, you press it and and you know, one guy said in his polygraph, "I murdered this guy outside Syracuse and and I want you to know that I'm cool with doing wet work and I that's why I want to join the CIA." and he's like hitting the panic button so that the cops can come in and take this guy away. But anyway, he said to me one time he was doing a routine repoly. You you do a polygraph prehire after three years and then every five years for the rest of your career. Okay? So, this is just a routine 5-year repoly for a CIA groundskeeper cuz even the guys who mow the the grass and all that stuff, they have to have polygraphs and security clearances. So, he said, "This guy is just flying right through the thing. No problems of any kind. He's already been at the agency for 10, 12, 13 years, whatever." And the very last question, my friend said, "Is there anything that we haven't talked about that you think is important? Something big like murder, rape, robbery, beastiality." The guy goes, "What's that last one?" He says, "Beastiality." And my buddy goes, "Oh no, I knew I had him. I knew I had him." As soon as he said, "What was the last one?" And he so he says, "Well, you might be surprised to know that that that's actually far more common than you might think. Uh it's uh it's having sex with an animal." And a lot of people do that. Is there anything that you want to say? And he says, "I might have done that couple three times." And so my friend says, "Okay, well um well, let's let's get to the bottom of that. In what circumstances do you find yourself having with an animal? And the guy said, "Well, sometimes in the barn when I get in a fight with my wife, I go out to the barn and I I bugger her a horse to get back at her." And he's he's hitting the panic button underneath. He's like, "Okay, well, thank you. Thanks for your honesty." And of course they take his badge and escort him out and tell him never come
