Congressional Inquiry or what?

Im not going to put details in this post out of fear of being identified at the section level. Long story short is our command team at essentially every level up to brigade is apathetic to the issue our section has with toxic leadership. Our NCOIC being the toxic leader. Shitty no doubt, but unfortunately this is pretty standard in a lot of units? Nothing unheard of. The larger issue lies in how our BN and BDE are handling this. Formal EO complaint to the DE EO rep? The person who attempted that was hit with "damn, that's crazy" Followed by 1: No complaint filed; 2: That BDE EO rep just telling BN that INSERT NAME HERE was complaining
Hang in there.
So, what was the BN's response to this? The BN CSM held group sensing sessions advertised as a group open door policy. There were more NCOs that complained about our NCOIC than i can count on my two hands. B CSM acknowledged the complaints and said don't worry, that the NCOIC will be removed. "I will fix this" she said to the large group of NCOs in her charge.
What does she do? She sits down with our NCOIC and sends every. Single. Person (not just NCO, soldiers too) who complained about him, down the river. Now NCOIC sits those people down and is making threats to those people careers.
Ill stop vou before vou comment it: IG on our installation has all but given up on our unit. I can't tell you the amount of soldiers that have gone there when regulation and policy was blatantly being abused, only to be met with a shoulder shrug and a "Thanks for stopping by."
Our BDE falls directly under our COCOM so no hope of division or corps level support.
Please, someone give me a button to push that actually works. None of the advertised solutions to these problems are viable. I probably went into too much detail here and can now be identified at the section- level but whatever. To be honest, I'm not even in that unit anymore. I had three soldiers that i still stay in contact with tell me about of all of this. The hopelessness in their voice after going through all of that just to be rolled over on by their command was heartbreaking. I am at a loss for words. These are the ingredients for soldiers to commit suicide. Please help.
Ill take some SSRIs and a large Coke Zero.
