I dont think they cut much, just one charge and most (all?) references to the Department of Justice. Indictment went from 46 down to 35 pages, still carries 6 charges. A new grand jury considered it and voted to indict. Nothing about this sequence of events indicates this is a weak case.

I personally wouldn’t want a federal indictment of 36 pages against me.
