Julian Assange, his lawyers and the Wikileaks organization will be holding a press conference in Australia at 7:30am Eastern USA time.
Mr. Assange walked free from a court in the US Pacific Island territory of Saipan, after pleading guilty to violating US espionage law, in a deal that will see him return home to Australia. Assange made no statement when he left the federal court.
A lot of people have optimistic hopes for Julian Assange, and/or the Wikileaks organization, to deliver information that will further evidence and outline the corrupt nature of the colluding governments who targeted him. However, when you consider the current weaponized intents of the U.S. government, you would be wise to remember no plea agreement will be detrimental to their interests.

Because it is likely to be a subject of interest in the days, weeks and months that will follow, the link to the 23-page plea agreement is above. I would strongly urge everyone to spend a few minutes reviewing it to understand the highly restrictive parameters within it.
Despite the public face of Assange’s lawyers and Wikileaks in general, the plea agreement severely puts limits on the ability of Wikileaks to continue their operations.
