This was obvious from the moment there were thruster issues on the way to the ISS. At least to anyone not drinking the Boeing Kool aid.

Investigate all you want. Doesn't change the fact that NASA isn't willing to risk astronaut lives when there are alternatives anymore. Crew Dragon and a Soyuz return were going to clearly be alternative options. The lack of commitment to that, stringing people along on Starliner possibly being used despite additional leaks and already experiencing thruster issues just reeked of Boeing PR trying to save face with everything else going on.
