The Russian collusion story they have kept pushing since post election, [@Andreyich]. It has had many factual holes put into it, but they had refused to let it die until just recently. There's also an investigation being opened into, what many are seeing now, Fusion GPS, the DNC, Awan, and so on. To me, the dropping of the narrative - which they admitted was fake and only for ratings - tells me they are either unable to gain the public's attention or something more important is coming, which a few like OANN an WikiLeaks are suggesting with some of the information coming across.

There's rumor that the Scaramucci excursion and the quote on military transgender policy were all a smoke screen to cover the launching of a Department of Justice investigation, which did indeed happen. No less, it earned approval and is in the works. It fell in about the same timeline as the healthcare issue which the media latched on to, albeit that was just McCain betraying his constituents and not so much part of what might be a distraction.

There's something going on and the only real reason I think it to be part of a larger picture is that the mainstream media has dropped the collusion propaganda.
