That looks like a garage door opener remote.
Whatever the FBI had laying around that looked good enough for Crooks to belive it was a real transmitter.
Explosives were probably real though. I only say that because having a car that can go boom would create confusion if john doe #2 actually hit Trump instead of just his ear. Did they have a location for the car?
I'm under the impression the shooter was not supposed to survive, was planned to be death by Secret Service so he couldn't speak of any details leading up to the shooting.
As far as location of the car, somewhere in a parking lot a couple lots away from the venue according to something I read a day after the shooting. Early reports said it was a van, later reports claimed that it was a car. Maybe a minivan? IDK, I haven't seen any pictures.
