The Atlantic editor became the prime target for every senior Trump administration official in Washington .

National Security Advisor Michael Waltz appeared to have mistakenly added Goldberg to a group chat earlier this month .

Waltz has taken responsibility for mistakenly adding Goldberg to the group chat, suggesting he meant to invite somebody else.

Veteran editor of The Atlantic left the group after being targeted by the White House .

Goldberg says there's a widespread feeling that Waltz made a serious error, as well as deeper concern about how the incident is being handled.
