Yes.
Yes I did.

An alphabet organization was 'literally' accused of using the term 'conspiracy theory' in a 1967 Memo intended to discredit critics of the Warren Commission - and while that particular agency has always said that their invention of the phrase "conspiracy theorist" was 'literally' part of a conspiracy to discredit their organization, they literally used the phrase “conspiracy theorists” in said memo.
...admittedly the phrase "conspiracy theory" has its own existential conspiracy theory but I'm not here to debate such nonsense. Some say it has literally been around for over a hundred years while others say its use only surfaced recently. Some say J Edgar Hoover was a crossdresser and that the CIA killed JFK - who knows?
I do know that these two alphabet organizations alluded to in this post have a long and documented history of being dishonest in their dealings with the American public to a degree that can literally be described as unethical at best - horribly illegal at worst - but it SURE is easy to see how the DOJ would treat a modern day reporter the same way they treated somebody like Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm not making accusations, I'm literally, just offering an opinion based on observation.
