Does he have any hope of re-evaluation then, assuming the Government decides not to separately prosecute the other crimes? An act becoming legal after one has been sentenced for it generally has no effect on past sentences.

(Though, the same changes in the political landscape which produce changes to the law may influence the politics of discretionary executive actions like pardons.)
