Counter-intel has a shelf life of around three months in the DC area. It isn't like there weren't multiple opportunities for the FEEB to do something. Oleg Deripaska had multiple properties in the US, including one in NYC and one across the street from Kellyanne Conway near 30th and Massachusetts Ave in DC. Deripaska visited the US on a diplomatic passport multiple times in 2017-2018 and no-one found anything on him? And Charles McGonigal, a retired NYC FBI agent pleaded guilty in 2023 to providing services to Deripaska, who was under US sanctions?
