It's well known that Tor is vulnerable to traffic analysis by an adversary that can basically monitor the entire internet.
It's well known that Tor is vulnerable to traffic analysis by an adversary that can basically monitor the entire internet. In the past, this was considered impractical, but now we know the NSA does something like this. Since this is inherent in its design, that means it doesn't really matter if it's funded by the US government, because they don't even need to weaken it in the first place. Not to say that funding diversity wouldn't be a good thing, but there's no particular reason to think Tor is broken any more than is already known because of where the money currently comes from.
