I don't think they can crack something like modern TLS in real time. I am sure they have a bunch of pre-cracked primitives stored somewhere so they are likely to actually crack sessions... whether they can crack them soon enough for that to be useful is speculation.

Personaly I think it is not likely they can perform real time cracking, because when they have needed such a thing they have opted to bribe operators of the trust chain instead (in order to get fake certificates to attempt MITM).
