^ Yeah, because a two-line down-time joke between mid-level FBI officials obviously outweighs not only the report's ultimate conclusion that Strzok/Page exchange had no effect on FBI conduct, but in the eyes of voters it will also outweigh the following list of Trump scandals:-

And since this list was last updated in Feb 2018, there's plenty more to add to Trump's misdemeanors, for example:-

> provokes trade war which almost every ecomonist agrees nobody can win
> insults long-time ally Canada and pulls a"hissy fit" after the G6 meeting
> continues to praise Kim Jung Un, ignoring Jung's record of crimes against humanity
> claims he "won't settle" despite the fact that the Trump Foundation is credibly accused of "persitently illegal conduct occuring over more than a decade"

These lies from Trump aren't the most politically significant, but to me they are among the most morally creepy. By lying about losing friends in the 9/11 tragedy, he is belittling or cheapening the people who have genuine cause for personal grief. Trump's comments are rather as if one of us were to post a lie to Trollheart like, "Yeah, my sister has those problems too." That's how contemptible it is.
