Hillary Clinton Inks Deal for ‘Brooklyn Cool’ Offices
The deal sets the clock ticking for either the formation of an exploratory committee–or a full-fledged candidate committee.

Hillary Clinton’s team signed a lease for office space in Brooklyn earlier this week, two people familiar with the move said Friday, triggering a regulatory countdown clock toward a more formal acknowledgment of what’s already clear: She’s running for president.
Her campaign-in-waiting has committed to nearly 80,000 square feet at 1 Pierrepont Plaza on the eastern edge of Brooklyn Heights, half a mile south of the Brooklyn Bridge and near a dozen subway lines and just as many buses. The lease was signed on Wednesday, one of the people said.
