Yes, this is hypothetical.
I'd like to come back to the case at hand. In fact, in the case at hand Mr. Varin did arrange a meeting with the minister's.... One of the key elements you've missed in your hypothetical compared to this one is that we have an assistant to the minister of the department responsible meeting with the person. We have the person not so much offering to organize a fundraiser as being told, or being urged or encouraged, that it would be a good idea, as a thank you for receiving the contract, to organize a fundraiser for the Conservative Party. Isn't that quite different from what you've just described?
