Then I failed my dissertation defense (fucking asshole old head committee members)
That is appalling, and 100% on your advisor. You should never let someone do the defense unless it is basically a formality and you are completely certain they will pass. A good advisor will always tell you if you need to tighten things up well before you get to that point. Most people end up with some revisions, but letting someone defend and then not passing them is unconscionable. Really sorry that happened to you.
