Serious question - who is in this position and do you trust them?
The legal procedure should (if he wished to be a whisleblower) have been to secure the information and submit an acusation to the Special Counsel: "The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. Our basic authorities come from four federal statutes: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)."
If there is probably cause to suspect that the Special Counsel is not to be trusted there are other procedures that can be followed. Manning followed none but handled over a wide span of information without regard to their relevance to a "crime" to be published and distributed to foreign agents.
