Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S. government that will allow him to avoid prison time, likely ending a years-long game of cat and mouse between Assange and the U.S. government. 
In an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) made public yesterday, Assange will plead guilty to a single count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information. He'll be allowed to avoid extradition to the United States and walk free in lieu of time already served behind bars, according to court documents
