3) Open Secrets reveals that over $1.1 million dollars has been given to a single group called "Politcal Advisors." However, no information comes up on google, and the building listed on the financial forms, 781 East South Temple in Salt Lake City, doesn't appear to exist on google street view. Can you tell us more about who this organization is, and who is in charge of running it?

I once worked on a race where the opponent was spending almost 80% of his budget on a political consulting firm. The firm was basically the entire campaign. This was a way to 1. Distance himself if they made any mistakes, 2. Avoid having to put much of his own effort into it, and 3. Avoid listing his itemized expenditures.

As for the mysterious address on South Temple... I used to work in one of those buildings on that corner. The tower on the north-east corner is residential, the building on the north-west corner is a bank, the building on the south-west corner is owned by former senate candidate Pete Ashdown and was used as Obama's 2008 headquarters, and the building on the south-east corner is, I believe, a law firm. Because 781 is an odd number, it should be one of the buildings on the north side of the street... by my calculations, that address is closest to the residential tower. My exciting conclusion: It's a typo. Johnson's website lists their headquarters are 731, and I'm guessing that's what he meant to mark down. That building belongs to NSON Opinion Strategy which is the firm owned by Johnson's top strategist.

I saw a screening of the movie Get Lamp, and I happened to notice your name in the credits. I thought about asking the director if it was you, but I figured there must be plenty of people with that name. When I got home I googled your names together, and sure enough it was you. So, what's your connection to Get Lamp and its director?

That's a pretty serious accusation, do you have a source for it?

Yes.

Just like we can right now.
