I read an interesting theory that the Trump administration leaked it so that Pompeo would look far more diplomatic in advance of his confirmation. Makes sense

There are bad leaks, and there are good leaks. I see this as the latter, and likely intentional considering the timing as you point out. If someone was trying to sabotage the Trump admin, this gets leaked immediately, potentially before it happens, and def before the Syria strikes.
