A high clearance does not give anyone access to a whole bunch of compartmentalized information.

Low level folks may have a lot of access in their narrow specialty but beyond that they have no more access than the average civilian.

You’re mixing up “how it is supposed to be” and “how it is in practice”.

Private Bradley Manning somehow had access to a huge drove of secret documents where the “need to know” wasn’t even close.

Reality Winner was just a translator and somehow could request secret documents.

There are over 1.2 million (!) TS clearance holders in the US right now and both the vetting process and access control are faulty beyond belief.

Rereading, I think the phrasing led me to believe you intended to say something else other that what I thought you were trying to say though Im not sure.
