USADA opened the door to the "light" sentencing by doing their investigation they way they did it. So whether Lance was this kingpin or not, if the info they are so desperately after really matters, and will be useful in cleaning up and clearing the doping story, I dont see why they wouldnt want to play ball with Lance. Sure, they tried it once, but then it comes down to this:
How important is the info to USADA? If it doenst really matter, they'll scoff at his demands and bits and pieces of the "rumors" will continously float around the rumor mill of how corrupt the sport really is. But if USADA was that hard up on going after Lance, to me nailing the big wigs of an entire sport, that's above and beyond anything Lance did. That's potentially bringing down an entire sports or atleast drastically causing complete embarassment to really high level officials.
ETA: Which means a very high possibility of changing how a sport deals with doping. That to me is the entire issue and if that can be uncovered, bravo to all parties involved (Lance, USADA/WADA/riders).
