Right now you are screwed with your group, you have no future with them, and owe them nothing. HR might make your boss be less of an ass but you are still screwed. You have no future with them in your current position.
As such I'd go directly to the big boss. Maybe remind him about the meeting he wanted to have, try to get it set up and go from there. Unlike your boss who is in CYA mode and out for a little revenge on the whistle blower, he just wants the company to succeed. This might backfire of course, but I don't think you have anything to lose.

You are right on the money, bro. Good advice, and if nothing else works, it's time to move on. Your current boss & coworkers are gonna try and barbecue you every chance they get.
EDIT: I'm caught in the crossfire of a hostile situation myself at work too, although I didn't have anything to do with initiating it. Cover your ass, and document everything!! I'm doin just fine but I'm ready to give the company the big ol' middle finger salute.
Also I just got a book called
The Art of War for Managers, the basis of the book is not confrontational at all but it has a rock solid plan for strategy and for defending yourself against corporate jackasses who are constantly trying to blast you. Based on Sun Tzu's The Art of War (great book!!) but it's not a translation. Highly recommended!!!
You can get it for like 10 bucks at the bookstore.
