You can accuse the US politicians of a lot but hiding in the shadows is probably the last thing you can say about the current USA administration.

Isn't this the same government that started a secret war against Venezuela without any authorization?

Secret? You can say a lot about the USA in Venezuela but secret isn't it and of course it was authorized congress explicitly granted the president the powers to do it.

Hardly "authorized" when the required consultation was sidestepped:

Now that they're aware, they're belatedly and ineffectively attempting to reign him in:

No. Furthermore, that is not a shadow cabal.

Why do people go out of their way to criticize Trump like this?

Attacking other countries without declaring war is a staple of pretty much every US president since WW2, republican or democrat. Carter is the only one who stands out (ironically, despite the fact that he had a good cause to invade Iran).
