He was prevented at the last minute from becoming Speaker of the House by investigative journalist Dan Moldea, hired by Larry Flynt to stop the removal of Clinton by GOP.
Guess what he's up to now?
From Talking Points Memo:

Former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-LA) and other politically connected players are jumping into the COVID-19 supply business with some help from the National Governors Association.
Livingstons lobbying firm and another firm started by a top Republican fundraiser are listed on NGAs Coronavirus Resources page which the governors group says is an online hub for businesses and other organizations with supplies or services to connect with states officials regarding critical needs.
The Livingston Group, Livingstons lobbying firm, is described as a source of key medical supplies. So is top Republican fundraiser Mike Gulas firm Blue Flame.
The Livingston Groups entry into the COVID-19 medical supply trade has not been previously reported.
On the NGAs Coronavirus Resources page, the lobbying firm is said to have access to FDA standard N95 masks and isolation gowns and COVID-19 serological test kits.

(9,426 posts)So much criminal activity, so little time. It is almost as though they KNEW this virus would be here, and jumped on the bandwagon immediately. There are certainly prepared, more than the gop has EVER been to help ordinary people. Just like cockroaches, they slither out as soon as the opportunity arises, looking for their share of whatever is there. It must be in their DNA.
