We had a pretty big 2018, so we're going to recap our top 10 (by page views) investigations of the year in this thread:
10) @N_Waters89, our resident drone expert, analyzed footage of the attack on Maduro in Caracas from August 4th, finding that an attack with two drones loaded with explosives did indeed try to attack the Venezuelan president.

@N_Waters89 9) @FoekePostma followed up the shocking findings from @Nrg8000 about the Strava fitness app revealing personal information about its users by finding a similar vulnerability in the fitness app Polar, which revealed the home addresses of soldiers & spies.

In the mostly isolated village of Loyga, Mishkin's old neighbors tell @tvrain that Mishkin was involved in the Crimean annexation somehow (they're unclear as to the how) and that they know this from his relatives 🤔
@tvrain And here is the Loyga school. @tvrain's correspondent reports that school children appear to have been warned to avoid speaking to the press. Hm. We wonder why.
@tvrain There are some new signs on the door of the local kindergarten. One reads: "Photos and video recording prohibited." We're guessing this one is *not* directed at proud parents coming to record fun kindergarten events.

Narváez previously tried to help Edward Snowden👉🏼travelled to Moscow & gave Snowden a “safe-conduct“ document.🙄
