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.
