WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after having spent five years in a British prison, according to court documents.

Assange was charged by criminal information — which typically signifies a plea deal — with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the Northern Mariana Islands District said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m. local time Wednesday (7 p.m. ET Tuesday) to plead guilty and that the Justice Department expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

The deal is probably that he will never testify that Seth Rich gave him the DNC emails.

The elites cannot risk Assange telling what he knows. Therefore I predict he will die from a tragic accident very soon.

Great new but the deal is not done. He still has to appear before a corrupt US judge who can pull the rug out from under this deal.
