[[WMG: Alternatively, Eastewood is a latent psyker]]
But he's heavily in denial, much like in regards to the gods, so his power usually manifests in the form of dumb luck and the occasional vision.
* His arachnophobia was enough to crack his denial in the arc with Vitani, which was why he kept seeing visions of her monstrous form before she revealed herself (and why Tyrus might have answered his prayer.)
* That arc also showed how the Inquisition treats "sanctioned" psykers, the one esper whose head didn't explode from scrying the monastery was killed in order to extract the image from her brain, so he has a subconscious motive to keep it secret too.
* The mechanical attack chicken might suggest an inclination towards tech-priest abilities, it was smart enough to build a sentry turret after all so it's not unreasonable to suggest it hosts a Grussian angel like the Cabal units.
* It might also be possible that command knows but keeps Eastwood in the dark so he doesn't use his esper powers to justify the assassination of another ex-girlfriend's boyfriend.

Long ago, Eastwood came to realize something about his job: the constant stupidity that comes from all sides. The Dark Gods, for all their power, can't do anything until their cults open a portal, which makes them powerless in a way. If it isn't moronic henchmen, it's the cult leaders who always give into villainous mistakes. Not even the Inquisition is safe- Jamilla was caught because she was given a camera big enough for someone to spot her in a crowd (which even had a "property of Inquisition" label on it), Schaffer could just use his authority to get free access to his porn, instead of making purchases that Eastwood and Virus can use to blackmail him. Confronted with all this, Eastwood's just elected to go with the flow, only doing enough to preserve the current status quo.

He probably figured that the combination of their insane luck and talent for getting shit blown up would get rid of the facility. He ''wanted'' that to happen, since he's GenreSavvy enough to realize that an illegal black ops facility that has already torn open a portal to Hell is more trouble than it's worth. He was probably also counting on them to destroy it thoroughly enough to wipe out all trace of its existence so that there's no evidence of an illegal facility left intact.
