November 3, 2005
ALTHOUGH Sen. Hillary Clinton never says she intends to run for president, there are clauses in the 2001 lease for Bill Clinton’s offices in Harlem that are said to indicate her presidential ambitions. According to real estate sources, Cogswell Realty, which owns 55 W. 125th St., is looking to refinance the building. In searching for investors, it must disclose tenants’ lease terms. One insider said Clinton has two escape clauses — one, if Hillary runs for the Senate and loses, two, if she runs for president and wins. “We are in the process of recapitalizing the building and looking at all different options,” confirms Cogswell partner Ross Jacobs.

But committee member James Jeffords, an independent senator from Vermont, showed up with a better idea, for which he had already corralled the support of Sen. Clinton, who had given him her proxy vote then never bothered to show up at all.
