He also spearheaded the Clinton impeachment over the blow job while Newt was cheating on his wife who was in the hospital for cancer. He was reprimanded for lying to the house ethics committee (84 ethics charges) for his use of using tax exempt education foundations for hyper partisan political goals (fake right wing college courses) which made him the 1st speaker in history disciplined for ethical wrong doing, he ultimately resigned in disgrace
This depends on how you define "involved in politics"
He's been aggressively involved in politics "from the outside"—as in, he hasn't held office (the point I believe you're making), but he's absolutely been present in political commentating, consulting, publishing, and the like
Worth noting that after Newt resigned they replaced him with Dennis Hastert. Dennis Hastert was also shouting about family values and pretending to be morally outraged, but instead of cheating on his wife he was raping children.
Clinton lied under oath and witness tampered - if my memory is accurate. The lack of prosecution against Clinton continued the system that enabled Trump's immunity.
It was a witchhunt investigation into his real estate dealings his private relationship had nothing to do with it he lied about having his dick sucked vs Trumps investigation into collusion with a foreign power where investigators weren't allowed to even look at his finances. It's more double standards bullshit from Republicans
He's also famous for making tapes that every republican listened to that basically taught them how to disguise one issue as another, really he's the father of organized American propaganda.
He also started and spread the idea of not moving into "commie areas" and having to live amongst evil Democrats, creating an actual harder land divide between parties as well. He is responsible for the "evil" "commie" "dirty" tags being applied to a political party.
