Not that I think Trump's bombing of Syria is anything but bad news, but this guy is a former ambassador, not a chemical weapons expert. Sarin is usually stored as two separate components so bombing a warehouse would be extremely unlikely to produce large amounts of it. The simple explanation that it was dropped by the Syrian Air Force is far more plausible in this case.

I don't see why he would, whichever way you look at it. He doesn't work for the government anymore, so he has no special knowledge, and no career to lose either.

There is really no evidence at all for the theory he's pushing, and lots of evidence against, so why should anyone believe it?

I saw an interview on the BBC where an expert on chemical weapons said that if the chemical store was hit by explosives then they would burn and NOT combine to produce the gas.
