It seems unlikely he will serve that full time though I don’t know the specific parole eligibility constraints for these charges.

Possible that some future President would commute his sentence or grant a pardon. But unlikely.

You need to serve 85% of your sentence in federal prison. He will likely appeal for a reduction.
