In particular, operating a large enough fraction of the exit nodes would provide quite a lot of intelligence, and we know spooks of various stripes do operate a lot of them. Just being seen in contact with a known exit node might be enough to draw unwelcome attention. That said, the public evidence I know of seems to suggest the spooks' main interest in Tor is actually in having their own assets able to use it.
