I realize that it is a stretch for Democrats to accept, but the New
York Times is not part of the government, and reporting what you consider
to be misdeeds to them doesn't constitute notifying the proper
authorities.

You'd better go back and read NYT v. US (1971). It was the "proper
authorities" who had violated the law. That's why we have a free press in
the first place.
