the CNN organization’s “triad” — a three-tiered bureaucracy of fact-checkers, legal advisers and standards executives who vet sensitive stories.

CNN’s internal review system, known as the Triad.

The Triad includes CNN’s fact-checkers and its standards team, both of which approved the article. But the third prong, the legal department, had at least one question that went unanswered.

Triad would not be a reference to Chinese organised crime. Triad mostly likely would refer to a association of three others - hence triad.

There are many triad groups in Hong Kong and China, think mafia and organised crime. Police are complicit and they generally are into turf wars, drugs, prostitution and protection rackets. The cnn thing may mean something else.

Everything I learned about the Triad, I learned from Lethal Weapon 4.

Asian mafia, control of drugs and trafficking on west coast is legendary. They are probably one of the most "important" gangs in the world and the us at the moment

Jack Posibiec mentions the triad now and again on Warroom Pandemic. He is fluent in Mandarin and is former navy Intel.

Triad just means a union or group of three.

While I appreciate the transparency of James posting all of this as an edited raw files, I also wish he would post highlights on these at the same time. I do not want to spend my time listening to CNN people drone on. I just want to know that the unedited footage exists in case I need to reference it. I have seen so many of these come through and I have no idea what they say because they are daunting.
