There will be no investigation now that Pelosi and crew have been acknowledged as knowing about it. The political advantage of an "independent" investigation is gone, so they won't be perusing that I suspect. (No one honestly believed this was about "morality" and not politics, did they?)

Sure, there will be some posturing and posing to make it seem it is still an issue for a little while, but there is no way the Demos will have an independent investigation. That would expose their role and involvement - Not going to happen. They condoned the actions, through action or inaction. No way they want that widely known.

So, the troops who are incarcerated will stay incarcerated and the people who put them in that situation will eventually sweep it under the carpet and carry on pretending that they are “outraged” by the “torture” and continue pretending their hands are clean.

And the American public will happily accept it and move on to the next “outrage” that catches their fleeting attention. And through their inaction will also be complicit in keeping these troops in jail for actions that were "legal" - at least at the time.
