I don't follow your allusion to an old Greek philosophical dilemma. But if there is no one present (vacant planet), it makes air vibrations but no sound. Sound is a sensory response, and requires sentient beings for it to register.

All we would have on this guy is a failure to follow an order. That is not a crime, so there can be no arrest for that. It would be a basis for firing the person, but the Civil Service has a bothersome procedure that would take up time and get in the way. Easier to remove the guy under his own steam and keep him on a leash as a person under investigation. He can be punished retroactively, say by disallowing his pension. Or, he might be found implicated in a crime arising from failure to conform to the statutes pertaining to the handling of evidence, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced. All in good time.

I'm not sure I'm quite getting the wolves and their clothing metaphor. Right now, it seems like they are all wearing Democrat uniforms. Maybe that is what you are getting at. More generally, I am beginning to suspect they are manifesting the symptoms of drinking too much of their own bathwater. They are living in an alternate reality, and too much of that becomes a full-blown psychosis. Makes for poor decisions.
