If he decides to push forward today it does appear it may not end well for him.

But the judge can deviate from the guidelines and go for an upward departure. One of the factors that the judge can consider in ordering an upward departure is:

Dismissed and uncharged conduct (§5K2.21)
The court may depart upward to reflect the actual seriousness of the offense based on conduct (1) underlying a charge dismissed as part of a plea agreement in the case, or underlying a potential charge not pursued in the case as part of a plea agreement or for any other reason; and (2) that did not enter into the determination of the applicable guideline range.
