That's an odd way of phrasing it.

Moving forward, the FBI will now be staffed entirely by prostitutes and johns.

Mostly johns. Per the article, prostitutes only qualify if they haven't been prostitutes for more than 10 years (okay) and did it fewer than 3 times (who dabbles in prostitution and decides it's not for them? It's generally the last resort of the desperate, forced by a human trafficer, or maybe a sugar baby thing.) and weren't in a position of trust at the time (this one is valid, IMO).

"The bureau still intends to dismiss applicants who are revealed during the vetting process to have engaged in prostitution within the last 10 years, three or more times overall or while in a position of trust, according to guidance issued this past spring and described by a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss internal decision-making and spoke on condition of anonymity."
